A week after Diego Maradona’s death, how the trial continues

What has happened inside his body in the last few hours, what has happened outside with the care he should receive and what decisions have been made by the professionals in charge of health of the greatest legend in football history. The death of Diego Armando Maradona (60), which occurred barely a week ago, has already been the subject of several chapters in court and investigators are moving in this direction.

Tuesday’s raids at the office and home of psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov (35) confirmed the line followed by the San Isidro team of prosecutors, who also attacked neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque (39) on Sunday.

Maradona’s medical records, documentation and cell phones were seized from the two doctors. This Wednesday, the decision of the judge of guarantees No. 2 of San Isidro, Orlando Díaz, to authorize the analysis of these four phones was known. This is one of the key skills that will let you know what has happened around the Ten Before his death in the private neighborhood of San Andrés de Tigre, what calls or messages the professionals exchanged regarding his health and complete in detail the timeline that led to Maradona’s death.

“There is nothing in the case that leads to suspect an arrest. The doctor has been in law since day one. The prosecutor ordered the search, with which his status in the case changed, now it is a person who is under investigation, ”the psychiatrist’s lawyer, Vadim Mischanchuk said at the door of the prosecution. . In addition, he recognized that the imputation of the professional is a concrete possibility.

And he explained that they purposely “handed over cell phone and computer codes and passwords so that they could access them as quickly as possible.”

The other key element that is in Justice’s sights is the “scene” where the star died. The famous games room located on the ground floor of the house in lot 45, “adapted” for hospitalization at home and with a chemical toilet next to it. The suspicion is that this was not the right place for the recovery of the recently operated former footballer and DT with heart problems and in treatment for his alcohol addiction.

Among what happened, there is the situation with the nurse Dahiana Gisela Madrid (36 years old), a member of the staff of the company “Medidom” and who at 6.30 am on November 25 took the turn to take care of Diego. Madrid have said he has stopped dating Maradona because he fired her. On Tuesday, the group of nurses also discussed what happened in the past few hours around the playroom where Maradona was interned.

Also, the other side of this timeline will be determined by what Maradona’s body “says” through the expertise and the samples taken during the autopsy.

This Wednesday laboratory studies began at the headquarters of the scientific police in La Plata, in the midst of a fairly rigorous security operation that included the presence of infantry and motorized police.

Benavídez’s prosecutor, Laura Capra, and San Isidro’s deputy attorney general, Cosme Iribarren, oversaw the opening of the samples and the chain of custody. While the lawyers who are part of the case also witnessed the expertise. What we did know was that toxicological tests, which will determine what substances were in Maradona’s blood and urine at the time of her death, they will be known in about 10 days.

In addition to exams in which they will seek to find out what drugs the Ten had consumed, as well as alcohol or another type of drug, the researchers will also perform histopathological studies, which are those that analyze organs and tissues under a microscope to see if there has been any illness or injury.

“Within 10 days we could have the first results on the blood and urine. The other will take a little longer, “a forensic source told Telam.

The heart of Maradona will be observed in detail. During the autopsy, it was completely removed and the first results showed that Diego had “dilated cardiomyopathy” and weighed 503 grams. In other words, twice as large as a normal.

One of the points requested by professionals is to analyze the cardiac “conduction system”, that is to say the structures from which the electrical stimulus which allows the heart to contract is produced and transmitted.

“We believe that Diego did not die of a clinical problem, but rather natural death due to the abandonment of a person, minimum“Said lawyer Mario Baudry, who represents Dieguito Fernando Maradona, the son the idol had as a result of his relationship with Verónica Ojeda, current partner of the former official of Sergio Berni at the Ministry of Security of Buenos Aires.

Baudry anticipated that they would start calling for “test measures” and stressed the “responsibility” of the doctors in charge of Maradona.

Meanwhile, a lock of hair and other fluid and tissue samples have been sent to the legal medical profession, which reports to the nation’s Supreme Court.

On the other hand, the San Isidro Appeals and Guarantees Chamber will be the one that decides whether Matías Morla (41), former representative of the Ten, and the Maradona sisters, may be part of the cause as affected individuals. Judge Díaz rejected this request.

At the same time as this Thursday we will know if the magistrate grants him or not the appeal for exemption from prison presented by Julio Rivas, Luque’s lawyer, anticipating a possible request for the arrest of the prosecutors who has not yet had location.
