The death of Diego Maradona on November 25th unleashed a predictable legal battle between his possible successors. There is so much wealth that is unsure how much is actually there. Houses, cars, bank accounts. There is too much money and too much people who added to his recognized children, is not clear if there is something for them.

And to add to the conflict, Fidel Castro's son called Maradona's last attorney, Matias Morla, to tell him that the Cuban gifted the soccer legend a house, so there is some other good to split. It is located in La Habana, and Maradona spent some years there to do rehabilitation from his addiction to cocaine.

Inside that house there are lots of objects who belonged to him, so the idea of Morla is to turn that house into a museum dedicated to him. Diego lived in a number of countries and the argument is that he deserves to have a museum in each one of them, so that house would be the ideal place in Cuba.

Mauricio D'Alessandro, Morla's lawyer, told that there are valuable photos and letters of leaders inside, aside of things that were literally used by him. And that is not everything: Maradona himself painted graffiti praising Castro. They were great friends and admired each other, so the Cuban government will want this legend to have his museum there.
