The face of TVN, Carlos Pinto is in the eye of the hurricane following it was revealed that he is facing a lawsuit for breach of an employment contract.
As detailed on the site the filterthe driver of Mea Culpa received a lawsuit before the 29th Civil Court of Santiago by the producer Sergio Gálvez following a breach of contract in March 2021.
“It details that between the parties there was an unnamed contract for artistic representation, agreeing on a commission equivalent to 20% net free of taxes and expenses of all the negotiations and closing of the contract in which it will represent the defendant,” detailed the media regarding the document.
The animator would have closed a contract with Channel 13 in 2017 for the program “Irreversible” with a total value of the season for $857,947,140 + VAT, being accused by Gálvez because Carlos Pinto did not comply with the obligation to pay an agreed commission previously that equals $171,589,428.
The demand
The program was sold to Amazon’s Prime Video streaming platform, where the journalist would have received benefits following the sale of broadcast rights. Money from which the sum previously agreed with the producer was not deducted.
The plaintiff requests that Carlos Pinto compensate him for the damages caused following breaching the contract, disbursing a sum of $25,000,000 for moral damages.
The media affirms that the driver of Mea Culpa did not respond to Sergio Gálvez’s demand, therefore he would have been recently summoned in “rebellion” to a conciliation hearing which will take place on August 1 at 9:00 hours.
