Singer Alicia Villarreal faces potential $11 million embargo amid legal battles

Singer Alicia Villarreal is at risk of an 11 million peso embargo stemming from a labor dispute initiated by a former employee of her ex-partner, Cruz Martínez. Her lawyer, Gerardo Martín Rincón Flores, is prepared to contest the ruling, emphasizing that the claimant never worked for Villarreal.

“

What the virtual court says is that the ruling is against Alicia, when she was never his employer. In fact, they didn't even know each other when he was already working in Cruz's group.

While he cannot confirm Martínez's involvement, the lawyer has not ruled out the possibility that the situation is intended to harm Villarreal.

“

I am not accusing the gentleman, but I am not ruling out that they want to harm Alicia either.

This legal entanglement unfolds amid heightened tensions between Villarreal and Martínez, a producer for Kumbia Kings. Last year, Villarreal publicly accused Martínez of violence during a concert, using a hand signal for help. Rincón Flores asserts that substantial evidence, including documentary proof and Fiscalía records, exists to support Villarreal's claims of domestic violence, which he believes should have been prosecuted as attempted femicide rather than just family violence.

“

If the authority lent itself to harming Alicia, lied and did not investigate, then I am also going against the authority, against the Local Conciliation Board, against the labor judge and the lawyers themselves, because they are affecting a third party.

The lawyer also refuted Martínez's claims of no attempts to resolve the situation. He stated that the Fiscalía initially granted Martínez favorable treatment. The legal battles continue, with another hearing scheduled for August 18 concerning the alleged violence against Villarreal.

“

There is evidence, I have the documents, the prosecution has them, he already knows. In the last hearing they said there was an amparo, he knows what's coming.
