It looks like Daddy Yankee’s lawsuit against his wife Mireddys González and his sister-in-law Ayeicha González Castellano is finally settled. On Feb. 10, the judge dismissed the Puerto Rican icon’s petition to depose the sisters, concluding that the transition of the requested documents was fulfilled.
The judge concluded the legal battles between the boricua superstar and his wife, siding with Mireddys’ request to halt the singer’s petition for a confidential deposition. “After analyzing the management letter signed under oath by the defendant, we resolve to dismiss the appointment and hold the confidential depositions scheduled in the case of the writ of certiorari,” the document states, per EFE News.
“The management letter, signed under oath by the defendants, includes all known information about pending matters and additional instances of the management of the corporations under their presidency. The information provided therein, under oath, contains all that is necessary for the plaintiff to continue with the management of the corporate entities,” the document reportedly said.
However, the judge noted that Mireddys should answer any doubts that DY has. He noted that “failure to do so could affect its own assets,” per Metro PR.
“After all, the main purpose has been that corporate entities can continue to operate in the midst of a correct transition. That is, to prevent the change of command from paralyzing operations and causing economic or contractual losses, which could affect other corporate entities,” the judge said.
The trial began in late December 2024 after DY revealed he was suing the González sisters for allegedly trying to withdraw $100 million from his business accounts, El Cartel Records and El Cangris, without his consent. In the first hearing, part of the settlement was for DY to take the presidency role of both businesses. In this process, the sisters were to share all important documents and contracts with the Puerto Rican icon.
However, the sisters didn’t offer all the documents, which resulted in the singer’s team asking the court to order the defendants to deliver what was initially requested within 24 hours or a management representation letter and a specific list of what was provided under oath, along with the documents not yet provided.
The last hearing on Jan. 14 ended with the judge asking the two parties to reach an agreement outside the courtroom. Per Primera Hora, the parties agreed to continue delivering documents through the sisters’ legal representative, Colón Miró, who was Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán’s former lawyer. They also agreed to participate in “confidential depositions” between the parties to clarify any missing or verbal information they may need to complete the original court settlement.
