Diego Maradona, Argentina's legendary footballer, has been finally acquitted by the Italian Supreme Court in a tax evasion case that spanned three decades. The case involved allegations of tax evasion on image rights from his time at Napoli between 1985 and 1990, using a Liechtenstein proxy company. Although the legal battle continued even after Maradona's passing in 2020, the recent verdict in his favor marked the end of a 30-year legal saga.

Although the legal battle continued even after Maradona's passing in 2020, the recent verdict in his favor marked the end of a 30-year legal saga.
Maradona, who faced charges of tax evasion amounting to 3.7 million euros in 1990, had some of his assets confiscated during various visits to Italy. Despite the prolonged legal ordeal, the final verdict posthumously vindicated Maradona, with his lawyer Angelo Pisani stating, "It's over." Pisani affirmed that Maradona never evaded taxes, and the verdict brought justice to the fans, football values, and the memory of the legendary player.
