The inheritance of Diego Armando Maradona includes a house in Havana with objects of the football star, says lawyer Mauricio D'Alessandro
Lawyer Mauricio D'Alessandro said on Monday that the inheritance of the late football player and World Cup champion, Diego Armando Maradona, includes a house in Havana that contains objects of the soccer idol.
According to D'Alessandro, a son of Fidel Castro called Maradona's lawyer, Matías Morla, to "remind him that Fidel had given him the house," a property in the 'La Pradera' health center, where the deceased star lived.
"He tells him to remember that in the attic of that house there are dozens of objects," said D'Alessandro, who is Morla's legal representative.
- A Harley Davidson motorcycle, worth over $30,000, is part of the precious belongings left by Diego Armando Maradona
The lawyer emphasized that the belongings of Maradona that are there are "preserved" and even enough "to make a museum."
"There are photos, letters, letters from world leaders, walls painted as Maradona used to paint them," he added, explaining that the 'Diez' would wake up in the mornings and paint them with "spray paint" with messages like "Fidel, I love you."
"The house is intact and available," said D'Alessandro.
- Maradona supported the Chavista regime and received contracts; the Venezuelan government owed him more than $50 million
Maradona's inheritance is extensive and still unknown in its entirety.
The late football player resided in Cuba for four years in the early part of the century, where he recovered from his drug problems.
Maradona died on November 25 at the age of 60 after suffering a cardiorespiratory arrest in a house in a private development on the northern outskirts of Buenos Aires, where he was recovering from an operation for a subdural hematoma that he had undergone a few weeks earlier. (D)
