(CNN Spanish) ––

Maradona's psychologist and two nurses begin to be investigated for wrongful death after the death of the star, according to a source with direct access to the file, in which there is still no formal charge.

The psychologist Carlos Díaz told CNN: “My job was for Diego to quit addictions and in the middle he died.

I would have loved to continue working with him.

I don't blame myself for anything ».

Gisela Madrid is one of the nurses investigated.

The Prosecutor's Office analyzes whether or not he incurred in malpractice.

His lawyer Rodolfo Baqué denies this and maintains that his client "has no responsibility."

Ricardo Almirón is the second nurse that the Justice began to investigate.

CNN tried to contact him through calls and messages but so far he has not responded.

In this way, Díaz, Madrid and Almirón together with doctors Leopoldo Luque and Agustina Cosachov are the five investigated by the Justice in the cause of Maradona's death.

For his part, Luque, who was his neurosurgeon, declared to the Prosecutor's Office that he does not believe "to have acted negligently, or recklessly, or with lack of expertise or lack of observation" of his duties as a doctor.

What Luque's lawyer, Julio Rivas, did admit is that the neurosurgeon had documents with Maradona's forged signature in his possession.

However, he did not explain why.

Such documents were supposed authorizations in which the ex-footballer allowed Luque to withdraw his medical history from the hospital where he underwent surgery on his head before he died, the same source with direct access to the file confirmed to CNN.

Agustina Cosachov, who was Maradona's psychiatrist, also rejects the suspicions of wrongful death.

His lawyer Vadim Mischanchuk told CNN that "from a medical point of view he acted with his best judgment."

Cosachov was also notified that she is being investigated for the possible commission of another crime: ideological falsehood.

As a source who knows the file explained to CNN, Cosachov would have signed a document that assured that Maradona was in good health on October 20.

One month before his death.

The source that CNN spoke to says they found that the psychiatrist did not come to Maradona's home that day.

Faced with this statement, the doctor's lawyer replied that "he did not issue any false documents."

The Prosecutor's Office aspires to order the holding of an interdisciplinary medical board in the next 15 days.

The goal is for experts to assess whether the soccer star's death was the result of malpractice or not.

Based on this, the judicial authorities will decide how the case continues.
