Prosecutor in Maradona trial: 'We were tricked and now they want to overturn the trial'

The prosecutor in the trial over Diego Armando Maradona's death has accused the health company Swiss Medical of deception and criminal behavior. Patricio Ferrari stated that the company "tricked us, committed a crime, and now they want to overturn the trial" after it was revealed that incorrect medical records were submitted to the judicial medical board.

“

We were tricked, they committed a crime, and now they want to overturn a trial when it's ending. But the situation is not that bad, because I regret to tell you that it was useless. They will not overturn the trial.

Swiss Medical provided clinical studies belonging to Maradona's father, who shared the same name, instead of the football legend's records. This error was discovered when the medical board, established in 2021 to analyze the case, found discrepancies, including different patient numbers and studies conducted in Buenos Aires while Maradona was in Dubai.

Only the one who set the trap can know where it is hidden.

Ferrari expressed confidence that this attempt to undermine the trial would fail. "But the situation is not that bad, because I regret to tell you that it was useless. They will not overturn the trial," he declared. The revelation of this irregularity could potentially invalidate the medical board's report, which had previously concluded that the actions of the accused doctors, Leopoldo Luque and Agustina Cosachov, were "inadequate, deficient, and reckless."

It was an involuntary error by the laboratory area of Swiss Medical.
