Maradona’s daughters want to prevent the auction of the rediscovered Ballon d’Or

Maradona’s rediscovered Ballon d’Or will not be put up for auction. Or rather, the heirs of the Pibe de Oro want to prevent the precious heirloom from being sold and have mandated a lawyer to act.

Diego’s daughters want to prevent the auction for the 1986 Ballon d’Or

As Sky Tg 24 writes, “Maradona’s family has decided to slow down the auction that will put the Ballon d’Or on sale. The French auction house states on its web page that the object belongs to a “private collection” but Diego’s daughters, Dalma and Gianina together with his ex-wife Veronica Ojeda, claim that trophy was stolen and that the current owner does not have the authority to sell it. Gilles Moreu, lawyer from the Paradox law firm contacted by the heirs of “El Diez”, declared that he will present an urgent appeal to the president of the court of Nanterra near Paris, to withdraw the Ballon d’Or from the auction“.

The Team tells:

It was April 2nd when Diego Maradona’s 1986 “Golden Ball” was identified (not the one known to everyone, but a simple award for the best player of the World Cup). Three years after winning it, on October 26th 1989, eight members of Giuseppe Misso’s clan, organize a robbery in the bank where Pibe’s belongings were kept. They also get the trophy. Resigned, Maradona gives up on finding him, while rumors circulate of exchanging the prize during a poker game.

The turning point came on January 28, 2016:

The trophy is found, through the French-Algerian Abdelhamid B, a former gallery owner who loves auctions whose life could change on June 6, 2024. There is already an estimate of the prize: between 12 and 15 million. Maradona fans will still have a few weeks to save their savings.
