The prosecutors investigating the death of Diego Armando Maradona (60) rejected the proposal made by the defense of neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque (39) to suspend the medical board that evaluates whether there was malpractice and whether the death of the Ten could have been avoid.
In a two-page opinion, one of the three prosecutors involved in the file, the deputy attorney general of San Isidro Cosme Iribarren, decided not to make room for the defense.
Lawyer Julio Adrián Rivas, Luque's defender, presented on Tuesday a heart study that Maradona underwent at the Rossi Institute in June 2019 that had not been incorporated into the file and a letter in which he had asked that the meeting be suspended. doctor and
that 17 doctors who treated the ex-footballer
in his successive
hospitalizations
be summoned to testify
.
Regarding the study provided by Luque's lawyer, Iribarren decided to incorporate it, but he decided to send an official letter to the Rossi Institute to check its authenticity and criticized the defense for turning it over to the cause at this time and not when they had time to contribute elements to what the medical board was going to discuss.
"It becomes necessary to state that the appearance of said study is at least paradoxical at this point in the expertise (?) Especially, when said study - according to the brief presented - was in the power of his procedural godson," said the prosecutor.
Regarding the citation of the 17 doctors proposed by Rivas, Iribarren replied that "once the interdisciplinary medical board is concluded and, in the event that the reception of the testimonies offered for the investigation process is useful and pertinent, it will be provided."
They are specialists in intensive care, clinicians, neurologists, cardiologists and technicians who performed cardiological studies on Maradona.
In another section of his response, the prosecutor warned Luque's defender that "from now on he should
avoid
making
unnecessary demonstrations in relation to the objectivity and performance of this Prosecutor's Office
with respect to his client."
On March 8, twenty official experts met for the first time to begin the key medical board that will define whether Maradona's death could have been prevented and whether there was malpractice.
"The first days of April there will be news",
sources of the investigation
confided to
Clarín
.
There are 24 points of expertise that the prosecutors formulated for the experts to answer what was Maradona's cardiological status, if his doctors should know him, if he was well or badly medicated, if the neurosurgery to which he was subjected was necessary, if the house of the San Andrés de Tigre neighborhood where he died on November 25 was the right place for a home stay and if the team in charge of his health increased, by his actions or omissions, the risks for "10".
The
seven health professionals charged
in the case are the neurosurgeon Luque (39);
the psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov (35);
the psychologist Carlos Daniel "Charly" Díaz (29);
the nurses Dahiana Gisela Madrid (36) and Ricardo Omar Almirón (37);
