Trial for the death of Maradona, here are the 291 witnesses cited: former loves, children, managers, the president of the Argentine Football Federation, lawyers, journalists and doctors

A very long wait, too long for those asking for justice for the death of Diego Armando Maradona. But now there is a fixed point: the trial begins on June 4th, on which date the hearings will begin. And they certainly won’t be few.

Also because 291 will be called to testify about the sad end of the Argentine, on November 25, 2020. As stated in the provision signed by the Oral Criminal Court number 4 of San Isidro.

The Judges Verónica Di Tommaso, Maximiliano Savarino and Julieta Makintach have established that the hearing will take place at the rate of three hearings per week, from Tuesday to Thursday starting at nine thirty in the morning.

As has been known since the beginning of the investigation, eight white coats must answer for murder with possible malice and risk sentences ranging from eight to twenty-five years in prison.

This is the neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luciano Luqueof the psychiatrist Agustina Cosachovof the psychologist Carlos Ángel DíazOf Nancy Edith Forliniof nurses Gisella Dahiana Madrid and Ricardo Omar Almirónof their leader Mariano Perroni and the clinical doctor Pedro Pablo of Spain.

Scrolling through the list of people called to testify we find the champion’s ex-wife and ex-partner, friends, family, managers, lawyers and journalists.

A face known to those who followed the champion in the roaring Neapolitan years is certainly that of Guillermo Coppola, his manager, very close to the champion. Exuberant, open character, unscrupulous in business (he even managed to have the then president Corrado Ferlaino gift a Ferrari which was then repainted black to the champion, boasting of having earned something from it) he holds many secrets of the life of the former Italian captain. Even the most unspeakable ones linked to the other face of the player, the one prey to the demons of addiction.

The daughters born from the marriage with Claudia Villafañe – also called to testify – will have to appear and give their version of the facts: there will certainly be a great wait to learn the truths of Dalma Nerea Maradona Villafañe and Dinorah Gianinna Maradona Villafañe.

Also on the list is another daughter of Diego, recognized later: Jana Maradona. And several exes like Veronica Carolina Ojeda And Rocio Geraldine Oliva Islas. Each will have something to tell about their life with the most famous footballer in the world.

Several Argentine journalists quoted: Nelson Castro, Marcela Tauro, Rodrigo Lussich, Sebastian Perello Aciar, Juan Cruz Sanz, Martin Candalaft.

And again, the president of the Argentine football federation, Afa, Claudio Tapia; the last president of Diego, Claudio Pellegrinoat the top of the Gimnasia club when the champion sat on the bench.

It will be interesting to hear what Diego’s sisters have to say, Rita Mabel Maradona, Claudia Nora Maradona He is his brother Raul Alfredo Maradona and other family members.

A controversial character in Pibe’s life will also testify: the lawyer Matias Edgardo Morla and another former lawyer, Victor Stinfale. But most of the witnesses include doctors, nurses, cardiologists, physiotherapists, kinesiologists who have followed Maradona’s poor health over the years.
