AVENTURA attending the Premio Lo Nuestro held at the American Airlines Arena. Miami - 24.02.05

RAFAEL DE LA HOZ, from The Bronx, New York City, claims to have sold off his ironworking business so he could dedicate himself to Aventura - only to be denied his 20 per cent when the band had a hit single with OBSESION (corr) in 2002.

De La Hoz's lawyer SUZANNE SCOTT tells the New York Post, "This is about honouring friendship and keeping promises. Mr de la Hoz poured his heart out - and money - into making Aventura work."
