Last month, Nores sued Payne’s father, Geoff Payne, for defamation for making alleged “false and defamatory” statements about him to authorities, which he said led to his arrest.
The lawyer of Liam Payne’s friend Rogelio “Roger” Nores has said he is “very happy” after manslaughter charges against the businessman were dropped.
The two hotel workers who will also not face charges are Gilda Martin, the hotel’s head of security, and Esteban Grassi, the chief receptionist who made an emergency call shortly before Payne died.
However, Nores has alleged in a lawsuit valued at more than $10m (£8.1m) filed in Palm Beach, Florida that the One Direction star’s father made “misleading, false and defamatory” claims to police detectives.
Rogelio ‘Roger’ Nores, who was charged along with four other men, had repeatedly denied having any responsibility in the One Direction star’s death last year.
