, the 37-year-old lawyer gave details of her tasks.
She was the one in charge of the purchases and all the payments for the logistics around Maradona.
"The business issues were discussed (Diego) with Matías. I was never present," he said.
"
Everything was decided by Maradona,
" said the woman, who reported that she received threats and had to change her cell phone number for that reason.
Vanesa Morla has been married for eleven years to Maximiliano Pomargo (42), one of whom was always with the then DT of Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, like Jonathan "Jhonny" Espósito (36), son of María Rosa, "Mary ", the fourth female daughter of the marriage between" Don Diego "and" Doña Tota ".

In his statement, he said that, in June 2020, Maradona decided to move out of the Bella Vista gated community "because he was already bored with the house" and "he was angry" because there was no "freedom" to move.
"
One Saturday he got up and said '
I'm leaving
',
" he said.
Then he chose the Campos de Roca II country house, in Brandsen, a few meters from Highway 2, to be close to the club he was running.
There he was last November 3 when he was transferred to the Ipensa clinic in La Plata, where they detected the subdural hematoma for which he was operated on the same day at the Olivos Clinic, owned by Vicente López.
"
Diego was a fan of going to the doctor
, for example if a nail hurt, a doctor had to come to treat him," Morla said.

According to his statement before the prosecutors Patricio Ferrari, Cosme Iribarren and Laura Capra, supervised by the attorney general Johan Broyad, it
was Rocío Oliva (31) who asked him to call him by phone, while she was in a relationship with Maradona.
"That day I think it was the first time that Diego met Luque. Diego chose from the first moment, he liked Luque, I know that he has gone to other clinics, but some questions I do not know if they had dialogue between them, but able for one Ingrown toenail asked to be called Luque. Luque was going to solve that ailment or whatever specialist went. When he was in Argentina, he asked to speak with Luque. Today, understanding and having listened, the truth is that
at times it seems to me that Luque was the family doctor and at times not
, "said Morla.
In addition, he commented that Luque had arranged his monthly income with Maradona himself and that he later discussed it with Matías Morla (42).

It was recognized "in charge" of the health of the "10".
"It happened that Diego had his money and did what he wanted and capable, the one who cut the grass came and wanted to give him 20 thousand pesos. And I told him 'it
's a lot
' and he told me '
he deserves it
'. For example, His sisters came and he gave them money. He was very generous. The payments were made by Diego's office. I collected through the office, but my salary was paid by Maradona, "said Vanesa.
The lawyer, when asked about who was supplying alcoholic beverages to 10, replied that this, according to "it was said," was being dealt with by
Carlos "Charly" Ibañez
, a relative of Oliva, who was arrested earlier this month, accused of committing robberies.
It also pointed out that the link with the psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov (36), another of the accused in the investigation, began with an interview.

I'll give you 5 minutes and go away
', and she replied: '
at that time I won't even be able to tell you my name
.' her, "he emphasized.

Morla said that he saw Maradona "strange" and "tired" on his 60th birthday, the day he was taken to the gymnastics court, for the first match of the tournament against Patronato de Paraná.
As for the house in the San Andrés neighborhood, in Tigre, where the 1986 world champion in Mexico died on November 25 at the age of 60, due to a heart decompensation, he said that it was chosen by his daughters Jana and Gianinna Maradona through a video call from the Olivos clinic with a real estate agent.
"I just went and checked two or three details, like that the sun didn't bother Diego. Or that he had the DirectTV pack of channels that he liked," he mentioned.
He added that "there was a glass in the makeshift room downstairs that had a crack and Jana, for safety or to avoid hurting herself as it was cracked, asked to put a layer of durlock on that glass."

"The contract was signed by Jana. And the office sent me a driver with the payment," Morla pointed out and said that
"no one thought what happened was going to happen"
, but rather that "
everyone said that Diego did not have to be hospitalized
" in a rehabilitation clinic, as Swiss Medical had suggested for his discharge.
Also, before a consultation via Zoom of the plaintiff attorney Mario Baudry, partner of Verónica Ojeda, former of the star, Morla affirmed to be sorry for a comment he made via WhatsApp, in which he said that Maradona had been sent to that house in Tigre "
to keep it all
. "
"It was the eternal fight of them against all and in that all I am not part, I am an employee. I have a husband and my son. It was the fight between the brothers, children and Veronica herself ... It was a misplaced comment from me I admit part of it, but not with an end. They were misplaced things that I said, "he added.

The woman highlighted the role of her brother Matías in organizing everything concerning Maradona.
"Diego's partner, lawyer and friend was Matías Morla. Maradona decided everything, if he had to do something he saw it with Morla," he said.
Finally, he remarked that "in Brandsen, Verónica Ojeda was much more than the employees" and complained that "it was not her environment according to the media."
In the file there are seven health professionals accused of "
simple homicide with eventual intent
", which provides for 8 to 25 years in prison.
Prosecutors concluded that Maradona's medical team was "deficient," "reckless," and "indifferent," and that he knew 10 could die and did nothing to prevent it.
