According to the Mexican newspaper El Universal, the Public Ministry found in the investigation process that “the notary’s signature on the contracts presented by Nodal does not correspond to his handwriting“.

The origin of the lawsuit against Nodal
According to information that ‘Ventaneando’ presented on February 22, 2022, Nodal’s parents “they simulated contracts” to attribute to his son the “ownership” of the songs he recorded with said company.
“Universal’s lawyers appeared at the prosecutor’s office to file this complaint for alleged generic fraud against Christian Nodal’s parents, who are the two who signed the contract with Universal, by simulating a contract or contracts that seek to attribute to Christian Nodal the ownership of the work owned by Universal Music or, due to generic fraud,” they explained in the program.
According to the record company’s allegations, Cristy Nodal and Jaime González deceived “Universal by obtaining undue profits, because they say that in the lawsuit filed by the parents, they presented apocryphal contracts where they recognize Christian as the owner of the songs that Universal recorded.
Prior to that lawsuit, the singer and his parents sued Universal in 2021 after failing to reach an agreement to renew his contract, for which Nodal would have signed with Sony Music despite the fact that his contract was in force with the other record label.
