The legendary former Barcelona player and eternal captain of the Mexican National Team, Rafael Márquez, faces a new lawsuit from his ex-partner, actress Adriana Lavat, intensifying a prolonged legal battle that has remained in the courts for years.
The filed complaint accuses Márquez of Frustration of Enforcement, which involves defaulting on a debt, and could result in serious legal consequences, including a possible prison sentence. The lawsuit was admitted for processing on October 3 by the Instruction Court Number 2 of Alcobendas, Spain, where proceedings have begun to investigate the case.
Márquez is expected to justify his financial movements, as Lavat claims that the former footballer acted in bad faith by transferring assets to accounts under the name of his current wife, model Jaydy Michel, with the intent to protect his wealth and avoid the seizure of his assets.
Additionally, the accusation includes non-payment of child support for their children, Santiago and Rafaela, a civil matter that Lavat had previously initiated. Michel's involvement in the case adds a layer of complexity, as if the accusations are proven, she could also face legal consequences.
Rafael Márquez and Adriana Lavat were married in 2003 and separated in 2007 amid controversies and accusations. What began as a media relationship has transformed into a legal issue that continues to capture public attention. Márquez is now preparing to defend himself in this case, which is expected to continue developing in the coming months.
