DIEGO Maradona’s sister has been evicted from the family home by relatives as the war over his fortune rages.
Lili watched in tears as bailiffs stripped treasured possessions from the property the World Cup winner bought their parents.
The items, including a giant portrait of Maradona, will be stored while the legal wrangle involving at least 16 relatives plus hangers-on is resolved.
Argentina star Maradona was said to be closest to older sister Lili.
She was with him until he died at 60 last November following an op to remove a blood clot.
Lawyers acting for other beneficiaries battling over his estimated £60million fortune got a court order to oust her.
Hand of God star Maradona bought the plush Villa Devoto in Buenos Aires at the start of his glittering career.
A source said: “Diego’s acknowledged daughters Dalma, Giannina and Jana and representatives of sons Dieguito Fernando and Diego Junior wanted Lili out.
“It was a difficult and emotional decision but it is essential that the house is unoccupied while the inheritance is decided. The legal process demands it.”
Family members gathered at the house on the eve of the eviction to raise a toast to Maradona, who also had seven alleged love-children.
Clashes have arisen because he signed a will in 2012 but scrapped it four years later.
