This implication of Doctor Luque, who had operated on Maradona for a hematoma on the head at the beginning of the month, does not automatically imply police custody or deprivation of liberty, said these judicial sources.

This investigation was triggered by statements from Dalma, Gianinna and Jana, three daughters from Maradona, on how the former footballer's heart problem was managed at his residence in Tigre, north of the Argentine capital.

"We are continuing the investigations by collecting testimonies, including those of members of the family" of Diego Maradona, said a judicial source in San Isidro.

Dr Luque, contacted by AFP, declined to comment.
