Court Denied Ilia Topuria Permission to Take His Daughter Out of Spain

UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria has won the first court case against his ex-partner, Giorgina Uskategui (Badell), regarding the removal of their daughter from Spain.

According to the Spanish publication Marca, to which Idman.Biz refers, the court in Mostoles did not allow Uskategui to take their one-and-a-half-year-old child out of the country. The court noted that the child is prohibited from leaving the country until the divorce process is finalized and an official visitation schedule is established between Topuria and his daughter.

The court's decision also stated that the plane tickets were purchased by the child's mother 12 days before Topuria's statement, which caused public resonance. The judge concluded that this fact refutes the claim that the departure was forced due to pressure from social media.

Furthermore, the case materials state that, despite attempts, Topuria has not been able to see his daughter for four months at the mother's initiative. A counterclaim has been filed against the fighter at the same time, but he has not yet been summoned to testify, and no restrictive measures have been taken against him.

The wife of the undefeated UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria, Giorgina Badell, accuses the fighter of threats and violence.

Earlier, Topuria stated that he has audio recordings, correspondence, and video evidence that refute all accusations and prove his innocence. The fighter also announced his intention to file a counterclaim against Badell on charges of blackmail, falsification of evidence, and misappropriation.
