Maribel Guardia Calls for Halt to Attacks, Denies Custody Bid in Figueroa Family Dispute

She says a prior move involving her grandson was temporary for his protection.

Overview

  • Guardia issued an Instagram statement asking for respect for Julián Figueroa’s memory, urging protection for her grandson, and denying any plan to seek permanent custody.
  • She criticized media figures for airing leaked private materials and said vulnerable people are being exploited for profit, calling for responsible coverage.
  • Recent circulation of an audio attributed to Imelda Tuñón alleging serious misconduct by José Manuel Figueroa has fueled the controversy, though its origin and authenticity are disputed.
  • Journalist Gustavo Adolfo Infante says Tuñón sent him the audio, while Tuñón has questioned its provenance and suggested it could be artificial intelligence, and some outlets later removed the file.
  • Leaked videos showing tense moments between Tuñón and the late Julián Figueroa resurfaced; Tuñón says they were taken out of context and has pointed to Marco Chacón as the source of the leak, and José Manuel signaled he may pursue legal action if his reputation is harmed.
