  • A nurse accused in the death of Diego Maradona warned that the home where the football star spent his final days was not equipped for emergencies.
  • The nurse, Mariano Perroni, sent an audio message to psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov 12 days before Maradona's death, stating they lacked basic emergency supplies like an IV line.
  • Perroni also informed another accused, Nancy Forlini, about the lack of emergency equipment, emphasizing the need for preparedness.

Mariano Perroni, a nurse facing charges in the death of football legend Diego Maradona, had previously alerted medical staff to inadequate emergency preparedness at the star's residence. In an audio message revealed during the trial, Perroni warned psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov, also an accused, that the house lacked essential equipment for urgent situations.

"Thinking ahead, in case of an emergency, we are not well-positioned. It cannot be that there is no IV line, no serum," Perroni stated in the audio sent on November 13, 2020, just 12 days before Maradona's death. He was one of the doctors responsible for Maradona's health.

Perroni also noted that he had communicated the need for an "emergency kit" to Nancy Forlini, who coordinated home care services for the private medical company Swiss Medical and is also facing charges. "It costs nothing to be prepared," Perroni added in the message.
