"It is something more Hollywood for the press:
'They removed Morla, they are going to investigate him'
... They are talking about investigating me for the homicide, but a year will pass and I did not step on the court." Matías Morla (42) is unperturbed by the recent judicial decision that ordered, in the middle of the fair and with the original magistrate of the vacation case, to separate him as a lawyer for four sisters of Diego Armando Maradona in the cause for the death of the star, although it advises that it will appeal.
In an interview with
Clarín
in his office in the ZenCity building, in Puerto Madero, which was raided last April at the same time that Justice prohibited the commercial use of the brands included in his firm Sattvica, the lawyer and right-hand man of
Diez
points out with all against Dalma and Gianinna, the oldest daughters of the 1986 world champion in Mexico.
Morla claims to be the victim of "a smear campaign" by the two daughters of the former footballer, who died on November 25 last in a villa in the private neighborhood of San Andrés, in Tigre, where he was being hospitalized after the operation for a bruise. subdural, performed 22 days before at the Olivos Clinic.
And he takes the opportunity to reveal an episode, supposedly after the death of "10", in a local downtown Buenos Aires, on two occasions.
"Everything tends to money. Do you know something?
Dalma and Gianinna Maradona's affection does not end with the dead father: they took $ 100,000 from a finance company
."
"I have the date and the place, surely after this statement they will summon me to testify and I will go with pleasure. Diego Jr., Jana Maradona, who is a great person, and Verónica Ojeda, they will not be scared of what I say because They will have given them 25 thousand dollars that corresponds to each brother. If they did not divide it, they are taking money from Maradona, the inheritance and committing a crime. It is tax evasion because a financial company is a clandestine means of withdrawing money, "he says.
-What does this ruling by Judge Diego Martínez mean that you cannot act as a lawyer for the Maradona sisters in the cause of death?
-What they are doing here is forbidding Maradona's sisters (Ana Estela, Rita Mabel "Kitty", María Rosa "Mary" and Claudia Nora "Cali") from being their lawyer. It's more against them than against me. It is a controversial decision that was made between shadows and midnight. The judge took office on a Friday and decided on a Monday.

-Are you going to appeal the measure?
-I am already preparing an appeal, but I am not a sponsor, I have no power. I am a lawyer who advises on these acts. Now follows Yamil (Castro Bianchi), who is from my law firm. I think it is more to satisfy the petitioners than to do justice. Room III was the one that admitted the sisters as private victims, so I am going to insist in that way. Later I will evaluate some behaviors with respect to the judge.
-What about the millionaire business of the Maradona brand?
-Here their objective (for Dalma and Gianinna) is the brand, there is no other. And that goal will not bear fruit because Maradona's idea and his will was manifested more than 28 times with respect to the brand. In 2014 they say that when Diego gave the brand to the sisters, he was not mentally healthy. They talk about cognitive ability, but he was then to give Gianinna three payments of 600,000, 300,000 and 600,000 pesos.

-When is this going to be resolved at the judicial level?
-On August 9. Stopping that brand brought complications, especially for the sisters. Diego gave me the obligation to support his sisters and part of that is through the brand. They will not be able to with the sisters, beyond what a judge says. There are 17 writings of Diego showing that will of the sisters living well, as they deserve.
-What did Diego say about his daughters?
-'They never come to see me '. Look at Maradona's New Year's picture of desolation in Dubai

.
I spent eight new years like this.
There we were three people: Rocío Oliva, me and Diego.
Several are realizing that they abandoned their father.
-What happened to the money I had?
- Maradona's silver was given by me when he died. Maradona's things, the storage in Dubai, the storage here, the account officers, the account numbers, the amounts, I delivered them. What did Villafañe deliver? Don't the rest of the heirs realize? People are not stupid, they are realizing that they abandoned them, that they scammed them, that they robbed them. That goes without saying. They wanted to fill a square and took 200 people. If I go with the sisters, more people go.

-Are you afraid that they will go for you in the judicial file for the death of Maradona?
-When they want to summon me to give explanations, here I am. They never called me for death or from any court. They even investigated how much blood I have in my body, however I am sitting here and I did not go to any court.
-Are you satisfied with the investigation?
-The prosecution is working well, except for the comment he made to me in my apartment. I also want to say something important: they say that I, because of the friendship I have with (the psychologist Carlos) Díaz or the knowledge with (the neurosurgeon Leopoldo) Luque, was going to do something against the truth of the file. We were in the same group, I can't ignore that. Now you know the only thing I did in the file? Say that the medical board was not void. I am saying that the board, by the way controversial, is valid.

-What can happen to the succession?
-Dalma and Gianinna enter causes of disinheritance, of indignity, without a doubt, easily. When you contribute elements to the succession, they will enter into causes that are unworthy.
-Dalma said you wouldn't let him see his dad.
"He wouldn't let me pass," says Dalma, but Gianinna entered. Sometimes I wonder the other way around: How does this girl who didn't see her father sleep, she died and people accuse her of abandoning him? Do you want to blame Morla? Here I am, I have enough leather to bank these blows but they do not resist the slightest logic.

-Do you think that Diego died in a place according to what he deserved?
-First, the house was rented by Jana Maradona. And Gianinna, Diego and Kitty Maradona saw it. If you see the house, what is being shown is something completely regrettable ... I know much more than they say but I am not going to disrespect my friend. Diego was wrong. Renting that house is worth $ 7,000 per month.
-But there were no essential medical issues for a cardiac patient.
-The thing to talk about is whether he had medical aptitude, because there are people who live under a bridge and have been alive for years. Now if he had requirements for a medical issue it is clear that no, he died and there were no basic questions. When Swiss Medical warns that he is not for a house, you can take him to the palace of Queen Sofia and he will also die.

-And why did Diego die?
-Diego died and his heart was bad. That is irrefutable. That Diego died of the heart can happen for several reasons, why a cardiologist did not see him or if he saw him and made a mistake is a matter of the prosecution that is investigating. Diego would have died the same anywhere. It is an issue that will end in an oral trial with many doctors testifying. They are strictly related to health issues.
-Is there any issue that complicates the case?
-In the file there is no act where I want to change the course of the truth. No delusional head can think that I am going to help someone who killed or is involved in the death of Maradona.

-And the trials against Claudia Villafañe?
-Diego denounced her in more than 10 processes, all cases that are pending. Claudia is not like Morla who did not go to court. Claudia went to court. They investigated her, she has a fine, she does not return things, they raided her house and office twice. We all know what Maradona thought of the three of them. That is evident.
-Do you really think that the only interest that motivates Dalma and Gianinna is money? It looks awesome.
-A thousand per thousand ... thousand per thousand. They are educated on the subject of money and lies. When Diego Jr. was born, they closed a Maradona account that is now in Uruguay with two million dollars. That is why I do not understand the behavior of the rest of the heirs.

-How many millions are there in dance with inheritance?
-Various, but all the acts they are carrying out are clumsy acts, because stopping the brand, what is good for you? You are complicating the sisters. Always hurting the poor ladies, who are going to tell me to the last drop of my blood.
-When did you see Diego for the last time?
-It will have been a week before he died, in the house where he died. He was not melancholic, but his voice was very hoarse, strange, as sharp at times. There was our farewell. At one point I understood that Diego needed a doctor, not a lawyer. So I said 'I come and when he recovers, I'm with him.' He participated briefly. I left the space for the daughters, I left the space for the doctors and there Diego was abandoned, disrespected, things stolen.
-You defended Luque's actions as soon as death occurred, are you still defending him?
-When Diego was sick at three in the morning, the one we called and he was running was Luque, I can't forget that. I know how fond Diego was for him, it was very deep. And then there is the medical part, which is the Justice that will decide. I cannot now condemn Luque to go to the house and hit him with a stone in the street, because I do not do that Nazi escrache movement that Dalma and Gianinna make against me.

-Is he responsible for his death for you?
-It is an issue that doctors and not lawyers have to solve on a television set who think they are Johnny Depp. Let the Justice act, let the doctors act. What is happening here is that there is pressure on judicial officials.
-Did you suffer any?
- Three months ago they did clandestine intelligence tasks for me. A commissioner. I reported it in La Plata and (Sergio) Berni found out, who is honest. The pot was uncovered and the one who asked him for the clandestine intelligence tasks was opened. He said 'no, I didn't ask him for anything' and they threw him to the commissioner.

-What do people say to you when you walk down the street?
-As every day in the same restaurant, I have breakfast there and took my children to school when there were face-to-face classes. That social condemnation is part of a plan in which they thought: 'we put him in jail for murder and we keep the mark.' Now they celebrate like a goal from Argentina in the 90th minute the issue of legal sponsorship that I do not exercise with Diego's sisters. They have social condemnation because they abandoned their father, I do not have it.
-What is true with the issue of alcohol and marijuana consumption?
-The thing about marijuana is a lie. Diego didn't smoke marijuana, he smoked cigars. If he did, he wouldn't tell you either, but he didn't. And on the subject of alcohol, Maradona did what he wanted. But at the same time he had an impeccable demeanor at public events. You'll say? That Maradona was a disabled person, as the daughters mean, that he had the cognitive element affected and then gave them gifts and went on TV to talk?

-You say he was in his right mind.
-Maradona spoke with (Vladimir) Putin, with (Nicolás) Maduro, with Rafael Correa, with Lula Da Silva, with the Pope, he did a live reality show, a one-hour daily program live in Russia, how are you going to say It was wrong? It is a stupidity, it does not resist the slightest analysis, the product of sick minds that want money, nothing more.
- Do you reproach yourself for something when you think that Diego's death could have been prevented?
-As a friend, I did everything right: I made him have the economic power he wanted, I made him sign the most important contracts of his career, he returned to directing in football, he made the Peace Party, he recognized children that he had not thought of that moment of his life. But the quarantine was deadly.
-One of those who most insists that you be investigated is Mario Baudry, the lawyer and partner of Verónica Ojeda. What is your opinion?
-That he is a charlatan healer, who was fired by Berni, who had causes of corruption, that everything he says is nonsense, that he has spelling mistakes, that he writes' served 'with a long b and then puts a tweet that says' with me ' separated. He is no longer with Berni, because later he sends out clandestine intelligence tasks. He also made a false complaint to another official and the (ex) brother-in-law is in prison, who is (Marcelo) Balcedo. He is dirtier than a mechanical dog. But what he says doesn't even reach me. I laugh. It is not something that affects me.

-Are you still talking to Jana?
-Jana is an excellent person, I do not speak anymore, but she is the best, a very good person. And Verónica Ojeda too, but she is deceived by this person.
-Why so much anger with Dalma and Gianinna, there is no chance of an agreement?
-It's been years, I don't have anything personal. My enemies are because fate put them here. They also have problems with others, not only with me, the list is large.
