Argentine soccer legend Diego Maradona filed charges against a businessman for stealing hundreds of memorabilia items shown around the world in his "Itinerant M10 Museum", the star's official website said on Tuesday.
The 600 pieces of memorabilia, including the 1995 Golden Ball and gifts from Brazilian football icon Pele and Cuban President Fidel Castro, were on exhibition since 2003 but are presently tied up in customs in several countries due to the "organizer's failure to meet his obligations", the website said.
Maradona filed a complaint against businessman Ernesto Texo, in the matter, it added.
The complaint said: "Texo and his associates improperly took possession of these objects after being tasked with organizing the Itinerant M10 Museum that visited Argentina, Italy and Mexico, among other countries."
