The Civil Court of Milan has sentenced Dolce & Gabbana srl to pay Diego Armando Maradona 70 thousand euros in compensation, in addition to legal interest, for the "undue use" and the undue "commercial exploitation of the name of the" Pibe de oro ", that would have happened during an event in Naples in 2016. On that occasion a model paraded with a blue jersey similar to that of Napoli and bearing the name of Maradona above the number 10.
For the judge Paola Gandolfi, the name of Maradona "conveys (...) particular suggestions of historical charm and of football excellence" and "third entrepreneurs cannot be allowed to make use of them, without the consent of the person entitled". The Argentine champion was assisted in the case by lawyers and professors Ulisse Korea (Studio Marini), Antonio Tigani Sava and Luca Albano.
