Producer Juan Osorio is facing legal action following allegations of fraud brought by former associate Rafael Portillo regarding the theatrical production ‘Aventurera’. Portillo claims he invested 10 million pesos into the project under an agreement to be a 50% partner, but alleges that Osorio failed to provide financial clarity and did not return the funds.

The dispute has escalated into both civil and criminal proceedings, with legal actions reportedly being pursued in both Mexico and the United States. Portillo’s legal team claims to possess over 150 audio recordings and financial documentation to support the allegations. Additionally, Portillo reported receiving threats after initiating the legal process.
