The sisters of Diego Armando Maradona (60), who act as victims of the case investigating his death, appealed the removal of Matías Morla as his lawyer, in a brief in which they compared this file with the case of María Marta García Belsunce and they criticized his nieces Dalma and Gianinna.

"We are in a cause that at times has an unthinkable seriousness and dedication, and for others it

seems more like the sad case of M. Marta García Belsunce that also put this judicial department to shame"

, point out the Maradona sisters and their lawyers, when evoking the Crime of the country Carmel de Pilar for which at the end of last year, after 18 years of legal ups and downs, the widower Carlos Carrascosa was finally acquitted for the crime of his wife.

The brief is addressed to the San Isidro Appeals Chamber and was signed by Claudia Nora, Ana Estela and Rita Mabel Maradona, three sisters of the "10" accepted as individuals affected in this file, by their lawyer Yamil Castro Bianchi and by his partner and boss, Morla.

There, they describe as a "hasty resolution of the fair" the decision that the San Isidro Guarantee Judge of the judicial fair, Diego Martínez adopted last Monday to separate Morla as a lawyer from the former footballer's sisters, by endorsing a proposal of Dalma and Gianinna who questioned him because of the close relationship he had with two of the defendants, the neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque and the psychologist Carlos Díaz.

"There are no elements of charge whatsoever that links the lawyer with the accused, after they acquire said character," says the letter.

In another section of the letter, they criticize their nieces Dalma and Gianinna by stating that "they are more adept at television cameras than at work" and they ask justice for "more coherence and less show."

On appeal, the sisters of the former captain of the Argentine soccer team maintain that they felt aggrieved by the resolution of Martínez, whom they questioned for having issued a ruling so quickly, without being the natural judge of the cause, which is his colleague Orlando Díaz.

"Why did the a-quo (judge) have so much interest in resolving an issue that is not one of those usually authorized to deal with at the judicial fair? Why did the a-quo - in its capacity as surrogate judge - intervene more urgency that the evidence, until then, by the natural judge of the cause? ", they wonder.

In addition, they assure that the decision to remove Morla "entails a loss of impossible reparation" to their interests, which, as they expressed, is to go through their "condition of victims and the contingencies of this process without being able to count on the advice" of their "trusted lawyer".

They also questioned that "in similar situations, different results are applied" when mentioning that the defense of the nurse Dahiana Gisela Madrid questioned at the time that Miguel Ángel Pierri is in this case defender of the accused nurse coordinator, Mariano Perroni, when before the Maradona's death advised one of the affected individuals, the youngest son of "10", Dieguito Fernando and his mother Verónica Ojeda.

This appeal must be resolved by Chamber III of the Chamber of San Isidro, which already

in December of last year ruled in favor of Morla

, when it ordered that the sisters of the former Gymnastics DT be taken into account as affected individuals, something that had been rejected at the time by Judge Díaz.

Meanwhile, the prosecutors in charge of the investigation, Patricio Ferrari, Cosme Iribarren and Laura Capra, began this Monday in the San Isidro attorney general's office a series of 13 new testimonies pending in the case with the turn of two nurses who treated Maradona during the weekends.

Maradona died at the age of 60 on November 25, 2020 at noon, in a house in the private neighborhood of San Andrés, in Tigre, where he was going through the home stay under investigation.

The autopsy determined that he died as a result of "acute lung edema secondary to exacerbated chronic heart failure" and discovered "dilated cardiomyopathy" in his heart.

A medical board concluded that Maradona was a patient with multiple pathologies who

agonized 12 hours before dying

, that "he was not in full use of his mental faculties", that the operation set up in the house in a country in Tigre was not a domiciliary hospitalization and that he could have had a "better chance of survival" if he had been in a clinic.

In addition, he described the medical team as "deficient", "reckless" and "indifferent" to the certain possibility of his death and that he was left "to chance".

For this reason, the prosecutors charged and investigated seven health professionals for the alleged crime of "simple homicide with intentional intent", with penalties ranging from 8 to 25 years in prison.
