"I spoke twelve hours in my life with Maradona, how could I want to kill him?" Said Dahiana Gisela Madrid (36), the nurse who took care of Diego Armando Maradona (60) during the day and the first who tried to revive him when he died.
The woman testified this Wednesday for six hours before Judge Orlando Díaz and prosecutors Patricio Ferrari and Cosme Iribarren, who are investigating the death of the Gymnastics coach at the house in the private neighborhood of San Andrés where he was hospitalized, on November 25.
According to what Rodolfo Baqué, a Madrid lawyer, told Clarín, the woman elaborated on Maradona's day-to-day life and what was happening in that house, which she arrived at on November 11 after being discharged from the Olivos Clinic.
"She went that Friday the 13th, she bathed him and, according to what the other nurse says, it was the last time Maradona was bathed," Baqué said.
The lawyer also said that the following Monday, "El Diez" kicked the nurse out of the house.
"Everything was fine when he sanitized him. On Monday at 8.10 when he entered, he greeted him and he said 'What are you doing, kid, here? Go away,'" he added.

Madrid went out and stayed outside the house, but Maradona opened the door and asked him to leave completely.
"No, you're leaving here," the idol told him, according to the nurse's statement.
"She had to go to the car, on the street," said Baqué.
The lawyer said that "everyone, even the daughters," learned about this episode and that then they told him that "he only had to give him the medications so that Maradona would not self-medicate."
Madrid also said that when he went to work, while Maradona was hospitalized, they did not give him "not even an epicrisis", that in Tigre's house "there were no appliances" and that there was no diet either.
"They gave him sandwiches," he said.
"The day Maradona fell, she said she had to have a CT scan and they told her no, as far as the press could say," Baqué said.
When asked who made the comment, the lawyer explained that it was Maxi Pomargo, Diego's assistant and brother-in-law of Matías Morla, his lawyer.
"During the investigation, all the chats were also demonstrated in which they wanted to blame her (for death) and put her in the center," said Baqué.
The chats he refers to were between the psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov and the psychologist "Charly" Díaz.
And between Díaz and the neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque.

"Luque tells Díaz: 'You're going to ruin a girl who tried to save her life,'" said the lawyer.
And he added that "between Cosachov and Díaz they gave false information to the press that the nurse lied."
Baqué anticipated that in the next few days he will present a request for dismissal from Madrid.
Like the other six defendants, the Medidom company nurse is charged with "
simple homicide with eventual intent
", a crime that provides a penalty of
8 to 25 years in prison
.
That criminal figure was chosen by prosecutors after six months of investigation in which they concluded that Maradona's medical team was not only deficient, but also
knew that the "10" could die and did nothing to prevent it
.
In their call for an investigation, the prosecutors attributed both Madrid and the other accused nurse, Ricardo Omar Almirón (38), who declared on Monday, not having assisted Maradona "knowing his delicate situation and knowing that this omission it could cause his death, "having carried out" deficit checks and / or reviews "and having acted" in clear complicity with the criminal purpose of the plan "devised by other defendants.
In her first statement as a witness, Madrid explained that that morning of November 25 she
never entered Maradona's room to let him rest
because she knew that the psychiatrist and psychologist would come at noon, and related how she herself led the CPR maneuvers that were unsuccessful.
Prosecutors summoned her again when they discovered that she had written a report for Medidom stating that that morning she had tried to control Maradona and that he had refused.
In that second testimonial, on page 161, Madrid
acknowledged that this report was trucho
and that he did so at the request of his supervisor, Mariano Ariel Perroni (40), another of the defendants summoned to be investigated for next Friday.
"I made a report at Maradona's house, after having declared in the prosecution because that is what Mariano, the coordinator, told me. I said that I tried to take his vital signs and he did not let me, but the truth is that that did not happen", he declared at that time.
Madrid said that that day only at 7.30 he heard him "wandering" and interpreted that it was Diego going to the portable bathroom "because of the sound of the chata."
He also charged the device mounted in the house, stating: "We did not have oxygen or medication. That is why we did mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
We did not have elements for unemployment cases
."
This Monday, his partner in nursing duties, Almirón, complicated the situation of his boss Perroni, of the Swiss Medical prepaid doctor Nancy Edith Forlini (52) and of the psychiatrist Cosachov, by stating that none of these three defendants were He worried about the cardiological situation of the "10", nor did he provide the background or medical history of the patient.
"At all times he was tachycardic. I informed him on the nursing sheet and WhatsApp group.
They did not give me directions,
" said Almirón, who also assured that there was no necessary equipment in the house for an emergency situation.
