US EditionDaughter of Maradona testifies against late soccer star's primary care doctor
- Diego Maradona's daughter testified that primary doctor Leopoldo Luque recommended home care after brain surgery before Maradona’s death in November 2020.
- The recommendation followed a surgery to evacuate a hematoma between Maradona's skull and brain and a week-long intensive care stay at Los Olivos clinic.
- Maradona’s daughter reported his health declined for a month and criticized the care, while a cardiologist and clinic director Pablo Dimitroff advised against home confinement due to complications after surgery.
- She testified that Luque could not clearly explain Maradona’s treatment and described the home as 'a dark, ugly and lonely place,' calling the situation a 'terrible manipulation.'
- Seven medical professionals, including Luque, face trial for negligence with manslaughter charges that could lead to up to 25 years imprisonment, as three judges weigh the case.
