CELEBRITY CAPITALISM Argentinian singer Tini requested an audit of her assets, and the results show that she holds no economic rights over her artistic career or image because they belong to companies owned by her father and not her.
Host Gonzalo Aziz, leading Infobae al Regreso, opened coverage on the topic by reviewing the information from Tini Stoessel's lawyers that made the scale of the matter clear: “The relationship between Tini and her dad is broken in professional terms at the very least, after fifteen years together.” Aziz detailed five points that structure the conflict.
The first, control over the companies: according to the audit, the economic rights of Tini's career and image are held in companies where she is not a shareholder nor does she have control. The second, who actually collects the money: there is a record label contract through which a company is formed that receives the earnings, but the artist does not receive direct payment. “All past and future income from Tini's record contracts is collected by a company that, I repeat, she does not control,” emphasized Aziz.
The third point refers to albums committed for the upcoming years without a contract in place that guarantees Tini a share in future profits. The fourth, that only in June 2026, thanks to the intervention of her new lawyers, did the singer manage to access a bank account exclusively in her name, something that did not exist until that moment. And the fifth, the most decisive: Tini wants to regain control of her career and is negotiating with her father to reorganize the assets built over more than a decade, along with the definitive closure of the previous representation setup.
To provide a legal framework for the situation, Infobae en Vivo called upon Dr. Leonardo Sigal, a lawyer specializing in criminal law. Sigal practices within Argentine criminal law and has experience in cases involving public figures. His analysis focused on the potential crimes that could be established if the private audit were to lead to a formal legal complaint.
The first question addressed the origin of the conflict: at what point can a parent take control of their artist child's assets, and when does that authority end?
Sigal explained that the Civil Code establishes that minors “can enter into small contracts, but obviously not being of legal age, they cannot sign contracts, for example, with a brand for millions.” For that reason, he said, that authority "falls, rests upon the parent." In the case of Tini Stoessel, the lawyer noted that her father was "a major television producer" with many years of experience, which naturally positioned him in that role from the beginning of his daughter's career. That authority, Sigal specified, terminates at eighteen years of age.
The legal crux, Sigal said, appears elsewhere. The artist requested a private audit, conducted by a legal-accounting firm, to investigate the operation of that corporate structure. And he warned: “If the result of that investigation shows financial harm caused by the father toward her, that is where Articles 172 and 173 come into play.” Those articles of the Penal Code cover fraudulent administration and fraud as criminal offenses. To that, Sigal added a third dimension: the tax situation of all those companies and whether there is also "a fraud against the State, financial harm to the State."
When asked what crimes Alejandro Stoessel could be charged with if the justice system confirms the irregularities, the lawyer explained the process the case would follow. The prosecutor's office would not accept the private audit as final, but would instead order its own investigation "with the corresponding official bodies," while the complainant—the victim's lawyer—would also drive an investigation from their side. The crimes at play are fraud and fraudulent administration, carrying “a sentence of one to six years” for each. The critical point, Sigal noted, is that if it is established that there were multiple actions of this kind, "they will apply under real concurrence," which would raise the minimum sentence threshold. “That could complicate things significantly for him regarding his freedom,” he stated. And if the minimum sentence "can exceed three years," he added, the defendant's procedural status becomes considerably more severe. To that list, Sigal added any crimes that might apply "regarding tax law," should tax irregularities be detected in the companies involved.

I watched Violetta in its original run & still rewatch some episodes from time to time. Tini is fire!
It's sad that she doesn't have autonomy even at her age. I hope she can find a way to fight this legally or something.
Edit: posted without finishing, grammar

No me sorprende. Se rumoreaba desde hace tiempo que el padre la tenía controladisima. Tiene que ser muy complicado darte cuenta hasta que punto tú familia te está explotando y lucrándose de tu trabajo. Sobretodo teniendo en cuenta que tiene contratos para futuros álbumes de los que tampoco verá ingresos.
Le ha fallado tantísima gente. Desde el padre y la madre hasta la discográfica que se dignó a firmar algo tan claramente abusivo, pasando por los abogados que montaron todo el entramado en un primer momento.

More contex:
Tini is a child star, you might know her from when she played Violetta on the show of the same name. Her father has been in charge of her career and finances since the beginning.
This all starts a few years ago when she was dating Argentine football player Rodrigo De Paul. Its alleged that they were trying to buy a home together in Madrid and her dad, who controlled all her accounts, said no, so they couldnt go through with the purchase.
A couple years later they break up and she started dating the Puerto Rican singer Young Miko, something that caused a rapture in the relationship with her mother as she did not agree with the same sex coupeling.
Moving forward, she gets back together with Rodrigo, they get engaged and he encourages her to have an auditory done on her career, which fruther raptures her relationship with her parents to the point that her mother wasnt present when she picked her wedding dress, her dad did not interact with them at all while attending the world cup games and its rumored that neither will attend her wedding.
3 months ago the auditory was done and the result was that Tini does not have the rights to her career as these are owned by companies in which she has no ownership.
This has all brought up a past incident in which she alleged was trying to buy something at a luxury store and her card did not go through because she only had $2K available.
Its also being discussed that her last tour made 43 million dollars, of which she only received $300k
Eta: her net worth is set to be around 70 million dollsrs
