Ex lovers of late soccer icon Diego Maradona are reportedly fighting over the deceased fortune, according to reports from Argentina.
Maradona, who died on November 25, 2020 bagged a multi-million dollar endorsement with sports brand Puma for being president of Belarusian club side Dynamo Brest and his coaching spells in the Middle East.
The 1986 World Cup winner had less than £75,000 in his bank accounts as Argentine journalist Ventura earlier disclosed.
Although, Maradona is said to have properties in Argentina as well as other parts of the world, but reports claim his ex-lover Rocio Oliva, 30 went on a spending spree after his death, according to the lawyer of another of his exes, Veronica Ojeda.
A source close to Mario Baudry said via SunSport: “Spending was found on a credit card Rocio had in the days after Maradona died.
We’re talking about very high expenditure by Rocio. “The suspicion is she took advantage of the situation and spent on the card until it was cancelled.”
Veronica, 43, mother of one of Diego’s children, also lashed out at Rocio in a TV outburst. She said when she and Maradona split in 2013: “I returned three million dollars to Diego. In contrast to Oliva, who kept everything, I returned everything.”
Maradona was married to his first and only wife, Claudia Villafané, who he wed in Buenos Aires, with the pair said to have met when Claudia was just 17.
The couple was married for more than 20 years but divorced in 2004 under unclear circumstances.
