Rogelio “Roger” Nores, an Argentinian businessman and close associate of Liam Payne, is cleared of criminal liability connected to Payne’s death following a fall from a hotel in late 2024. According to court information cited by multiple outlets, prosecutors have fully dropped charges against Nores, finding no basis to proceed with criminal wrongdoing allegations related to the incident.
The reporting also indicates that the case is not entirely closed. The New York Post states that prosecutors continue investigating two other people connected to the circumstances surrounding Payne’s death, even as Nores is removed from the criminal process.
Nores had previously been charged with manslaughter in connection with the death. With his clearance, his status changes from a defendant to a non-suspect in the matter as characterized by the cited sources. The outlets do not provide additional details about the reasons for the dismissal or the identities of the two other individuals under investigation.
