The fight is about to start with the sharing of Diego Maradona's property. The court has demanded that Maradona's grave be dug up if necessary to gather evidence. Anandabazar newspaper reported.
The wealth of the late Maradona is about 1 to 4 million dollars. And who will be the new owner of this huge property? There are sons and daughters or ex-girlfriends, not that. Journalists and photographers are also going to fight.
The problem is exacerbated by Maradona's failure to make a will. Under Argentine law, a person can arbitrarily divide one-third of his or her property between his or her spouse and children. But two-thirds must be kept for wife and children. Since Maradona has no will, the property fight will be more difficult. Those who claim to be Maradona's children, but Maradona has never recognized them, will have their DNA tested if their case goes to court. Demands have already been made that Maradona's grave is dug.
The fighting began on November 25, the day Maradona died of a heart attack. "I don't know who will ask for a share of the property, but it won't be a surprise if the list goes on," said Mauricio Dalesandro, who has been Maradona's lawyer for the past few years.
Although the exact amount of Maradona's assets is not known, according to Forbes, it is 1 to 4 million dollars. These include land, houses, luxury cars, jewelry. These properties are scattered in Argentina, Spain, Italy, UAE, Belarus, Mexico in the countries where he played, or coached, or was involved in some other way.
Among those who can claim it are five recognized children. Four of them are in Argentina, one in Italy. There are also six others who have claimed to be Maradona's children at various times. For a long time, Maradona has said that he has no children other than Gianina (31) and Dalma (33). Both are children of Maradona's ex-wife Claudia Villafane. Maradona broke up with Claudia in 2003 after a long marriage of 20 years.
Maradona later admitted to having six more children. Of the six, four are in Cuba and two in Argentina. There are also ex-wives and girlfriends. After Maradona's death, two other children, Santiago Lara (19) and Magali Gill (23) took to the floor to demand his property. Both have said they will take legal action to establish their claim. Traders, moneylenders, even journalists, photographers are not excluded.
Dalesandro said, "Those who will make the claim will have to go to court quickly. It seems that a total of 60 cases will be filed against Diego Maradona. Most of these, however, are defamation cases that have been pending for so long. Various journalists and photographers have filed defamation suits against Maradona. This time they will also want a share of Maradona's property. Maradona has borrowed money from many businessmen and moneylenders. They will not sit still. Because the amount of this money is not less.
When someone dies, they are asked to rest in peace. But Maradona may not be able to sleep in peace. Maybe the prince of football may be dug up again.
