MARADONA SUES OVER 'STOLEN' MEMORABILIA
Argentinian soccer legend DIEGO MARADONA has filed charges against businessman ERNESTO TEXO, accusing him of stealing 600 pieces of sporting memorabilia from the star. Maradona claims that the items, including the 1995 Golden Ball and gifts from Cuban President Fidel Castro, have not been returned since they were shown around the world in the Itinerant M10 Museum. The items went on exhibition in 2003, but are in storage in customs in several countries due to the "organiser's failure to meet his obligations", according to a post on Maradona's official website. And legal papers recently filed against Texo add, "Texo and his associates improperly took possession of these objects after being tasked with organising the Itinerant M10 Museum that visited Argentina, Italy and Mexico, among other countries." The memorabilia also includes several international trophies and numerous soccer shirts that were exchanged with the sportsman after international matches with other famous soccer stars during Maradona's 17 years playing for his country.

My name is Omar Palmer, I reside in Jamaica and I am writing this letter out of pure
desperation. I am among a group of investors in Jamaica and the United States of
America who have invested money with The Higgins Warner Corporation (www.higginswarner.com), the operators
of "The World Football Idol" with the hope of getting a 20% monthly return on our
investments. This company has a client base of about 7,200 investors and is headed
by Mr. Emile Maxim St. Patrick Higgins, the hadquarters is located in Argentina.
I have invested all my life savings in this company (US $67,400.00) and since December
2007 they have transferred all their money to the United Arab Emirates. Since December
none of the investors I know have received any of their interest payments. Sir, I
have made numerous attempts to contact Mr. Higgins and all my attempts have been
unsuccessful, I have lost all of my life savings in this investment. Mr. Maradonna
see if you can convince Mr. Higgins to return our money as soon as possible.
dear maradonna,
hi , my name is kane and i am one of your fans and because of which i got
deceived by a comapny named HIGGINS WARNER GROUP SA the president being Max Higgins.he
on his websited many many websites has been flaunting your pictures with him and
showing people that his company is a multi million dollar company and asking people invest
with him and many people like me have invested with his company seening your picture
thinking that since you are such a big star and may be genuinly the comany is true.
i sold what all i have and i invested with him because he promised to pay every month
20% and after six months the principal amount.so fare there are about 7,200 people
have invested with him and out of which i know about 20 people who have invested
more than 100,000USD.to prove you i can show you the copy of my contract with the company
and also the cheque made to his company and all this he is doing using your pictures
on the website.i am a poor girl and i cant afford to loose any money as i have a
small child of 2yrs and no family to back on.all my investments are with him.hence i
humbly request you to please as your fan intervine and get my money back from your
friend higgins warner.apparently he has criminal charges in jamaica,argentina and
USA so now he must be hiding in dubai but now even there police is on a look out for
him and i think that u should not be seen with such people who are fugitive and deceiving
innocent people.i hope that u will mail me back and help me to get my money back
