An Argentine court on Tuesday ordered the case to proceed to trial against Diego Armando Maradona’s last lawyer and legal representative, Matías Morla, as well as his sisters Rita Mabel and Claudia Norma Maradona, who are accused of defrauding the sports icon’s legitimate heirs in the exploitation of his commercial trademarks. More than five years after the star’s death, the National Criminal and Correctional Court No. 43 rejected a request to dismiss the charges and declared the investigative phase closed.
