A Miami state court judge ruled that late Argentina star Diego Maradona failed to provide a “scintilla of evidence” in his claims that his ex-wife hid assets and stole millions of dollars from him to purchase properties in South Florida.
Paula Aguila and Monica Amador, partners at the MPA Law Firm in Miami, said among the challenges in representing the defendant, Claudia Villafañe, was that her ex-husband, Maradona, who sued her in four courts in Argentina and in the Miami-Dade Circuit Court, was such a beloved figure in South America.
