Maradona was buried in a private cemetery near Buenos Aires
An Argentine court ruled that the body of football legend Diego Maradona was “obligated”, pending the outcome of the case for lineage evidence, which halted plans to cremate the body.
Maradona died last month of a heart attack at the age of 60.
In response to a lawsuit brought by a woman who claims Maradona may be her father, the court said a DNA sample should be provided to the football player.
And the Argentinian player had two daughters by his wife. However, after his divorce, he admitted paternity to six more children.
The case was brought by Magali Gil, 25, who is not one of the six children.
Adopted Jill says her mother called her two years ago to tell her that her father “could be Diego Maradona”.
In a video posted to Instagram, Jill said it was a “fundamental right” to know “whether Diego Maradona is my biological father or not”.
After her death on November 25, Maradona was buried in a private cemetery near Buenos Aires. A court ruled on November 30 that his body would not be cremated until after all necessary forensic examinations had been carried out.
Wednesday’s decision extended the ban
The “Reuters” news agency quoted Maradona’s lawyer as saying that the DNA of the great footballer was already there, so it would not appear necessary to extract the body.
Maradona left behind a complex financial legacy that his recognized children and those who are currently in court compete for recognition.
His death caused a huge shock not only in his native Argentina, but around the world as hundreds of thousands of fans gathered to pay their respects.
