The day before Diego Armando Maradona's operation at the Olivos Clinic for a subdural hematoma, his eldest daughter, Dalma, exploded on his Twitter account: "

For the sake of the bloodsuckers, let nothing happen to him

."

On November 3, when the surgical intervention was performed, she, Gianinna and Jana decided to become fully involved in their father's health, after the crosses with Matías Morla and the so-called "environment".

The medical discharge would be signed eight days later, on November 11, with the endorsement of Leopoldo Luque (his neurosurgeon), Agustina Cosachov (his psychiatrist) and the daughters of the star.

The first alternative was to take Diego to a rehabilitation center for his alcoholism problems.

The second, put him in a neuropsychiatric facility.

The third would end up imposing itself: a kind of "

home internment

" in the private neighborhood of San Andrés, in Tigre, which never became such.

In the order signed by Cosachov, it requested as indispensable "

nurses, preferably men with full-time availability and specialized in substance use problems, a neurologist and clinical physician

," in addition to "

having the availability to carry out medical studies and an ambulance in case the transfer is considered necessary

. "

The specifications of Maradona's psychiatrist, Agustina Cosachov, to guarantee her care outside the clinic.

What happened between November 11 and 25 is now the main reason for investigation.

Was Diego neglected?

Was there medical negligence?

According to prosecutors, it was "

a complete and utter lack of control

."

In addition, they maintain that "it was a

totally deficient

home stay

."

The truth is that Maradona died without a doctor nearby.

Nurse Dahiana Madrid, who was with the patient those days, contributed a disturbing fact during these hours: "Maradona fell on Wednesday (of the previous week) before his death.

He fell and hit his head

, but he was not taken to a hospital to do an MRI, a CT scan, "said his lawyer, Rodolfo Baqué.

According to this version, the "right side" of the head was hit against a wall and no one took care to verify its condition.

From the "environment" of "10", before a

Clarín

query

, they assured: "We found out now.

Not only did we never know, she did not record it

. She kept a daily report, how she took the temperature, the pressure, and did not put a line of this. We are calm because we did things as we had to do them. "

The photo that Leopoldo Luque uploaded after the operation to Diego Maradona.

The judicial strategy of Luque's lawyers, who is not formally charged, although they are investigating whether he committed "manslaughter," that is, due to recklessness, negligence and inexperience, is to

show that he was not Maradona's personal doctor

.

However, the testimonies of those who frequented the star complicate it.

"

Everything happened through him

. If Diego had to go to the dentist, he was there. If he had to be tested, he was there," they say.

Morla, who preferred not to go to the wake on Thursday at the Casa Rosada because he was warned that the weather was not "the best", went out to bank hard to the neurosurgeon, complicated after the statements of the Maradona girls between Saturday night and Sunday at dawn.

"

I understand and share the prosecution work, but only I know, Dr. Luque, what you did for Diego's health, how you took care of him, accompanied him and how he loved you. Diego loved you and as his friend I will not leave you alone . You left blood, sweat and tears and the truth always triumphs,

"he said on Twitter.

Diego loved you and as his friend I will not leave you alone.

After the operation, Jana and Gianinna went to see their father several times at the house in Lot 45 in San Andrés.

Dalma, they say, was only once.

Now the three of them want to know if her father died because he did not have the medical assistance that his battered heart required, affected by a "

dilated cardiomyopathy

" that would end up causing pulmonary edema and, finally, death, before noon last Wednesday.

This Monday, four of Diego's five sisters (Claudia Nora, Ana Estela, María Rosa and Rita Mabel) appeared, with Morla's sponsorship, as "individuals who were injured" in the case under the investigating judge of San Isidro Orlando Díaz and a team of investigators led by the attorney general of that Judicial Department, John Broyad;

and integrated by his deputies Patricio Ferrari and Cosme Iribarren;

and by the Benavídez prosecutor, Laura Capra.

The same did the lawyer Mario Baudry, Verónica Ojeda's partner, on behalf of Dieguito Fernando, the son that Diego saw the most in recent times.

"

I can have the best Ferrari in the world, but if I give it to a 5-year-old boy to drive I have a problem,

" he launched in the direction of the doctor seconds after qualifying him as "a good person."

Dalma, crying after the Boca players' celebration after the first goal against Newell's, in the Bombonera.

Luque appeared at the Attorney General's Office with the intention of making a statement, but as he has not yet been charged with a crime, he could not.

Julio Rivas, one of his lawyers, assured that Maradona "always decided on himself" and that the doctor "has no responsibility, he was not in charge of home hospitalization."

Mara Digiuni, his other lawyer, said that "at this moment he is not accused, but in the future he may be," and that Luque

"did not give orders"

about Diego's health care.

"Maradona was taken from the clinic and was treated for his alcohol addiction problem, but they forgot about the heart issue. There was no clinical doctor. I think an interdisciplinary committee was lacking.

No one took note of the warnings that the heart of Maradona,

"the Madrid nurse's lawyer said in turn.

That point is what the investigators will try to discern in the coming days with the testimonies and evidence collected this Sunday in the raids on Luque's house and office.
