In the midst of the scandal with Florencia Peña, Nico Occhiato and the Luzu staff leave the World Cup

Nicolás Occhiato announced that he and his team from Luzu TV are preparing to return to Argentina after three weeks in the United States, where they were in charge of covering the 2026 World Cup. The return was planned from the beginning and comes just after the group stage.

According to what was recalled in various programs, the goal was always to cover only that initial stage of the tournament. With the last match of the Argentine National Team in this phase scheduled for this Saturday, the group will begin their return and resume regular broadcasts from Buenos Aires.

In fact, Nadie dice Nada was the only program from the platform that traveled to provide special coverage of the sporting event. The rest of the productions remained in the local studio.

The context of the scandal

This move comes at a delicate moment for Occhiato, as rumors grow about a possible legal conflict with the unpresentable ultrakirchnerist Flor Peña following her departure from Luzu TV. The host's name has once again been at the center of attention due to these tensions.

Fernando Burlando, the host's lawyer, hinted that she would be in a position to initiate legal action against the platform. For his part, Ángel de Brito mentioned that the claim could reach 200 million pesos.

The reasons for this possible lawsuit would include the fulfillment of the signed contract, the corresponding settlement, and the payment of the agreed advertising schedule. Among these items are the actions of Non-Traditional Advertising (PNT) that the ultrakirchnerist Florencia Peña had committed to, which became void after her dismissal.

Meanwhile, the team must also resume other work commitments. Ángela Torres, for example, has to rejoin the recordings of Popstars, which is set to premiere in the first days of July.

Return and immediate future

The trip of Occhiato and his staff always had a defined duration, as they explained in various media. Fefe Bongiorno on LAM confirmed that the return was planned and that it is not an improvised decision.

With the conclusion of the group stage, the host and his team will leave the coverage on U.S. soil and continue with regular broadcasts from Argentina. This allows them to resume their usual routine and attend to pending obligations in the country.
