Argentina Court Exonerates Liam Payne's Friend, Hotel Workers

Argentina's Court of Appeals has dropped all charges against Liam Payne's friend Roger Nores and two hotel employees, Gilda Martin and Esteban Grassi, in connection with the singer's tragic fall from a hotel balcony on October 16. The court ruled that Nores was not responsible for supplying alcohol or drugs to Payne, nor could he have prevented the incident. The judges noted that while Nores could have potentially limited Payne's access to substances, it was also possible that Payne would have obtained them regardless of his friend's presence. The ruling emphasized that there was no evidence of negligent or reckless behavior by the hotel staff. Nores expressed relief over the verdict, stating he can now travel to the UK to say goodbye to his friend. Meanwhile, the legal situation remains ongoing for two other individuals accused of drug dealing to Payne, who are still incarcerated pending their trial.
