MONTREAL (AP) — The estate trial of boxer Arturo Gatti has resumed in Montreal, with both sides still trying to work out a deal.
Gatti’s widow, Amanda Rodrigues, and the boxer’s family negotiated Tuesday while court proceedings were suspended. Carmine Mercadante, a lawyer for the Gatti family, said Wednesday he needs more time to discuss matters with his clients.
Rodrigues and the Gattis are contesting an estate the trial judge estimates at $3.4 million. The two sides have been at odds since Gatti’s death at a Brazilian resort in 2009.
The boxer’s family does not accept the conclusion of Brazilian authorities that he committed suicide. And they reject the legitimacy of a will, signed just weeks before his death, that left everything to Rodrigues.
