The family of late soccer legend Diego Maradona and Argentine star Carlos Tevez filed court injunctions to avoid paying a new wealth tax, the latest example of the difficulty in making millionaires comply with the levy.

Heirs of Maradona, who died last year, entered a formal complaint on Friday in a national appellate court, according to local news outlet Perfil’s sports website 442.
