Retired Argentinian soccer legend Diego Maradona has filed a suit against Konami for using his likeness without permission in its Pro Evolution Soccer 2017.
The footballer made the announcement on his official Facebook page, saying his lawyer "will initiate the corresponding legal actions" against Konami.
Maradona is now retired, and says his likeness is being used for the game without his permission.
"I hope this isn't another scam," he wrote.
The Italian government announced in 2009 Maradona owed the country €37 million in unpaid taxes, over half of which is interest incurred on the original amount.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 released last September. In our PES 2017 review, we gave it a 9.5, calling it a "great all-around football game" for its AI, online play, and "slick gameplay."
Maradona is the highest rated player in PES 2017, with an overall score of 98.
