## Resource

A family feud between brothers Mauro and Roberto Brondani just escalated dramatically as a Johannesburg judge greenlit Mauro’s new civil claims — alleging Roberto filed false criminal complaints that ruined his reputation and cost him thousands in legal fees. Roberto fought back, calling the claims too vague and past the three-year statute of limitations, but the judge sided with Mauro, noting his allegations tied to malicious prosecution and that the clock only started after criminal cases were resolved in Mauro’s favor — including his overturned assault conviction and cleared protection order. Now, the civil trial will include both the original assault dispute and Mauro’s new accusations of reputational harm and wrongful prosecution.
