Their version of the facts.
Gianinna and Jana, two of Diego Maradona's five daughters, were heard on Friday as part of the open manslaughter investigation to determine whether responsibility can be held in the November 25 death of El pibe de oro (kid Golden).
They were summoned by the prosecutor of San Isidro, in the northern suburbs of Buenos Aires, to be questioned on "specific issues that were raised during the investigation," said a source from the prosecutor's office, quoted by the official Telam agency.
Gianinna, 31, one of the two daughters the Pibe de oro had with his ex-wife Claudia Villafañe, arrived behind the wheel of his car accompanied by his lawyer.
She came out three hours later without making a statement, AFP journalists noted.
The daughter of Valeria Sabalain whom Maradona recognized at the age of 12, Jana, 24, testified after her sister left and also left without making a statement.

The investigation, which seeks to determine a possible negligence or recklessness in the medical treatments administered to Argentine N.10, who died of a heart problem on November 25, 2020 at the age of 60 at his residence in Tigre, north of Buenos Aires, is concentrated around seven people.
"These testimonies were invaluable"
They are the neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque, the psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov, a psychologist and two nurses (a man and a woman) at the bedside of Maradona, as well as the coordinator of these nurses and a coordinating doctor of the home hospitalization.
"These testimonies were invaluable and allow us to understand the last days of Maradona", declared Rodolfo Baqué, lawyer of the nurse who was present during the hearing in the offices of the Attorney General of San Isidro.
According to the lawyer, the sisters "appointed Cosachov, Luque and the psychologist (Carlos) Diaz as treating doctors".
"It is very clear that they were the ones who decided the treatment", he insisted.
On March 8, the prosecutor will convene a medical commission of experts to better understand the chain of responsibility.
It will be composed of nine experts, including forensic pathologists who performed the autopsy and specialists from various medical disciplines.
