Argentine businessman Rogelio Luis "Roger" Nores has been cleared of wrongdoing in connection with Liam Payne's death, according to court records cited in reports from Buenos Aires. The latest ruling reportedly dismisses the final remaining charge against him.
The decision marks a major turn for Nores, who had faced scrutiny after Payne's death in October 2024. With the court now removing the last accusation tied to him, he is no longer facing legal responsibility in the case.
Even so, the broader investigation has not ended. Prosecutors are still examining the possible roles of two other people, meaning authorities continue to treat the matter as an active case despite Nores being formally cleared.
Payne's death drew widespread attention because of his global fame as a former One Direction member. The newest court action narrows the legal focus, while leaving open questions that investigators are still working to resolve.
