Nelson Velasquez He was sentenced to four years in prison for violating the property rights of the group “Los Inquietos del Vallenato.”
The 11th Criminal Court of the Medellin Circuit issued the sentence after finding the vallenato singer responsible for the crime. In addition to the prison sentence, Velásquez will have to pay a fine of more than 20 million pesos.
However, Nelson Velásquez will not serve his sentence in prison, as he was granted conditional suspension of the execution of the sentence. This benefit allows the singer to remain free during a probationary period of 48 months, as long as it meets certain conditions imposed by the court.
The process began in 2012, when Jair López, legal representative of “Los Inquietos del Vallenato,” filed a criminal complaint against Velásquez. The artist, who was part of the group in 1993, left the band in 1995, but continued to perform his hits during his performances, which prompted the complaint.
After more than a decade of an intense legal battle, renowned vallenato singer Nelson Velásquez was sentenced to four years in prison by a judge in Medellín. The reason for this ruling is the violation of copyright.since Velásquez continued to perform songs by the group Los Inquietos del Vallenato without the proper authorization after his departure from the group.
During the trial, the prosecution presented evidence showing that Velásquez performed, as a soloist, several songs by Los Inquietos del Vallenato without respecting the copyright. This evidence led the judge to hand down a sentence against him, imposing both a prison sentence and a fine.
Although he has kept a low profile since the ruling was issued, His fans and the music industry are eagerly awaiting the singer’s next steps.
