Maradona ex-lawyer blasts footballer's daughters over inheritance dispute

Matias Morla and two of Maradona's daughters, Dalma and Gianinna, are embroiled in an inheritance dispute over Maradona's brand and image rights.

"Maradona was abandoned, that's clear. He died alone, apart from the sisters with whom he spoke every day and (his ex-girlfriend) Veronica Ojeda, who went to see him with Dieguito Fernando, his son," Morla told America TV on Monday night.

Morla's offices were raided on Monday as part of an investigation launched after Dalma and Gianinna made a complaint against the lawyer on March 12 for fraudulent administration and fraud. The two daughters asked for an investigation into the use of the Maradona brand by a company called Sattvica that is owned by Morla. They accused Morla of "betrayal, dishonesty and abuse" in his management of Maradona's brand and image rights after the star's death.
