The two new defendants are
Nancy Edith Forlini (52)
, the doctor who coordinated Maradona's home hospitalization from prepaid, and
Mariano Perroni
, who was the coordinator of the nurses provided by the Medidom company.
Both were notified that they were being investigated as accused of a possible "wrongful death" and were summoned to appear at the San Isidro Attorney General's Office next Thursday at 11 am.

whose main suspects are the neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque (39) and the psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov (35).
But, in addition, the psychologist Carlos Daniel "Charly" Díaz (29), the morning and afternoon shift nurse Dahiana Gisela Madrid (36), and the night nurse, Ricardo Omar Almirón (37) are charged.
Forlini was the doctor who coordinated for Swiss Medical everything related to Maradona's hospitalization in the house in the country San Andrés, while Perroni was the head of all the nurses who attended the house.
"Let us remember that Perroni was the person who urged the Madrid nurse to falsify a report for the company 'Medidom' in which it was stated that that morning he had tried to control Maradona and that he had refused, when in fact the nurse had not entered to the room, "said a judicial source.

The two new defendants were even part of the WhatsApp chat called "Tigre", where the nurses reported all the news about Maradona.
Regarding the medical board, nine are the official experts.
The first meeting will be on March 8 at 10 am and the headquarters will be the Scientific Police Superintendency of the Buenos Aires police, in streets 52 and 118 of the city of La Plata.
Of the nine official experts, the first four are the forensic doctors who performed or witnessed the autopsy: the director of Forensic Medicine of the Buenos Aires police, Carlos Cassinelli;
the head of the San Isidro Medical Corps, Federico Corasaniti;
the head of the San Isidro morgue, Agustín Grimoldi;
and the head of the La Plata morgue, Javier Grubisa.
The other five doctors are specialists in different disciplines: Gustavo Di Niro, head of the cardiology service at Hospital Central de San Isidro;
the psychiatrist José Luis Covelli, head of the Department of Legal Medicine at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA);
Carlos Damin, head of the toxicology service at the Fernández Hospital and head of the department of that discipline at the UBA;
Hernán Trimarchi, Chief of the Nephrology Service at the British Hospital;
and Fernando Cairo, president of the Argentine Society of Nephrology.
The autopsy, the medical records and all the medical documentation that has been kidnapped or provided on Maradona and the complementary studies to the autopsy will be the focus of the board's analysis, as planned by the prosecutors.
The medical board will be the key to the case
, since, based on their conclusions, the prosecutors will have the necessary elements to know what Maradona's health condition was, if Tigre's house was a suitable place for his hospitalization, if death could have been prevented and if, as they suspect, some members of the interdisciplinary medical team that assisted Diego acted negligently.
