"This is how Maradona died"/ Prosecutor shows shocking photo in trial

Even before the start of the trial for the death of Diego Armando Maradona, there had been moments of tension, with the crowd of fans who awaited the medical team in front of the San Isidro court, erupting with cries of "murderer", but the presentation of the facts by prosecutor Patricio Ferrari caused a real shock.

"Look, this is how Maradona died," the prosecutor said, showing a photo of the lifeless body of "El Diez", which was extremely swollen. "Anyone of the accused who says they did not understand what was happening to Diego is lying blatantly. His conditions were obvious," he added emphatically. As the prosecutor continued to show the photo of the Argentine football legend, his daughters, Dalma and Giannina, burst into tears, later comforted by their sister, Jana.

The dramatic scene, which went viral and went viral on social media, was broadcast live on the official YouTube channel of the Superior Court of the Province of Buenos Aires. The entire medical staff who cared for the Argentine champion in his final days are in the dock at the trial.

There are a total of eight people, including doctors and nurses, including his personal physician, neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque. The arrival of medical staff at the San Isidro courthouse, on the outskirts of the capital, was met with cries of "murderer, murderer" from the crowd that had spontaneously gathered in front of the building.

To further add to the tension, Maradona's ex-wife, Veronica Ojeda, stood in front of one of the accused, psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov, bursting into tears and hurling some harsh words at her.

Just hours before the trial, his daughter, Dalma, had demanded justice in a television interview, where she said there was a conspiracy by a powerful group that wanted her father dead. "I want these people to say who hired them, who paid them, who managed the house in which my father died," she said.

In his closing speech, the prosecutor stated that "after a year of investigations was completed, a solid and uncontested indictment was built, based on evidence."

According to Ferrari, there is strong evidence that shows that the accused are responsible for causing Maradona's death during the period of his stay at home, which lasted from November 11 to 25, 2020, in what is called the "house of horrors."

The prosecutor concluded his speech by saying that "the family and the Argentine people deserve justice." Maradona died on November 25, 2020 at the age of 60, after a cardiorespiratory crisis that occurred at his residence in Tigre, in the northern suburbs of Buenos Aires, where "El Pibe de Oro" was recovering from brain surgery to remove a hematoma (blood clot).
