After the complaint filed by Universal Music contra Christian Nodal and her parents, Silvia Cristina Nodal Jiménez and Jesús Jaime González Terrazas, for alleged falsification of signatures, the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) reported that the criminal procedure remains open.

“The file that was prosecuted before the Judge refers to the above. And said Judge did not exonerate even Christian ‘N’ nor to his family; It simply determined that there is another trial, of a civil nature, and that it is necessary to wait for its result before criminal action proceeds or not.
“Because of the above, the procedure remains open, awaiting that result. And both Christian ‘N’ How complainants can contribute to the FGR the evidence they have in this regard,” he stated.

“I have always believed in justice. Today we are here with my father and my mother on a very long day. It was worth it. We were not linked. A judge has already ruled that there is no link, there is not even a single piece of paper that shows that we have falsified any document,” said the Sonoran upon his departure, accompanied by his lawyer, Erik Rauda.
“Con Universal I have done incredible things hand in hand. “I want to ask you for respect, affection and also the consistency that if you want an artist of my caliber back, that you make a decent contract with a lot of respect.”
