“I don’t like owing anyone anything”
Last week, Wanda Nara testified as a witness in the trial of Payarola Hernayes.
Two of the alleged victims are lawyers María Macarena Posse, daughter of former San Isidro mayor Gustavo Posse, and her partner Marcela De Leonardis, who represented the host MasterChef Celebrity in civil cases and now They are asking for $600,000 after the employment contract they signed was unilaterally revoked.
“He checked and gave final approval; when they sent or presented something that he did not agree with, he got angry. I don’t remember exactly the presentation, but Nicolás (the defendant) was angry about things that (Posse and De Leonardis) presented without his consent. I don’t know what their agreement was because they didn’t do it in front of me. What I always ask, because I don’t want to owe anyone anything, is whether he owes (money). He said so “I told myself that he would pay his fees according to the costs specified in the file,” Nara said while testifying before Iribarren.
During the hearing, the businesswoman and television presenter said that she met Payarola Hernayes on the recommendation of Elián Valenzuela, popularly known as L-Gante, with whom she had a personal relationship.
When asked who signed the revocation of the power of attorney that authorized Posse and De Leonardis to assist them in the civil case (claiming maintenance for their daughters after her separation from soccer player Mauro Icardi), Nara explained: “I found out because Dr. I don’t remember signing the revocation on paper. I certainly don’t remember Nicolás (Payarola Hernayes) telling me to sign that paper to get the lawyers to remove. There is no other case where so many things are signed.
During his testimony, Nara was asked which presentations by Posse and De Leonardi’s Payarola had angered Hernayes. “I don’t know what it is, but I was angry because I said they were going to tape my signatures.”
Posse and De Leonardis are represented by former San Isidro Guarantees judge Rafael Sal Lari. Other victims have the lawyer José María Vera as their litigator.
Icardi’s ex-wife said she learned that the agreement included a clause that would require paying $600,000 if the attorneys’ representation was revoked after a meeting with the CEO of a key company. This meeting took place in Wanda Nara’s apartment in the Château Libertador building in Núñez.
“When the meeting ended, Marcela (De Leonardis) left me a contract, an agreement on fees and conditions of her employment. I told him that I would look at it and when they left I wrote to Nicolás, I don’t know if it was that day or the next, and told him that I was worried because there was a clause in it for $600,000, that I couldn’t pay her and that we were hiring her for a debt that at that time was there wrote I told him, he called me and I told him that what they showed me was impossible because it contained this clause. He told me: “Keep calm, you don’t have to pay anything, Mauro (Icardi) has to pay the fees and they will collect from the fee adjustment that the justice system will make.” I never spoke to Marcela (De Leonardis) or Macarena (Posse) again and he told me that he had withdrawn their support because they had put my signatures on a series of judicial documents and that that would bring me back.
