“Diego was not supposed to be discharged from the clinic”

Doubts, shadows and sensational news. For Diego Armando Maradona there is no peace even more than ten days after the disappearance. The doctor of the Pibe de Oro is still in the sights, Leopoldo Luque, and the psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov. “No one was in control of the patient”An investigative source told La Nacion. The Argentine newspaper itself published an exclusive document, in which no resignation from the Olivos Clinic, but only the advice to continue the rehabilitation in a specialized center. We are on November 12, which is the day when Diez was discharged after brain surgery. A document that bears the signature of Luque, the director of the structure and his daughters Giannina and Jana.

“It could be manslaughter”

The rest of the story is known: Maradona was then moved to the house in San Andrés, dying a few weeks later. “Each new element that is acquired in the investigation strengthens the provisional hypothesis that there was a lack of management in the treatment that Maradona received – claimed the source – We are faced with the possibility that a crime has been committed. It is possible to say that we could be faced with manslaughter”.

The last days of Maradona

“There was no patient monitoring system, we ascertained that a doctor went a couple of times to see Maradona, but we don’t know what he did. The presence of a cardiologist in the house, of a specialist who deals with cardiac pathologies, is not ascertained“. Maradona resided in a home that – according to the investigators – had been set up “in total disorganization“. All this would have been proposed by Luque and Cosachov and accepted by the Pibe de Oro family.

What the penal code provides

The investigation is still ongoing and is entrusted to the Attorney General of San Isidro, John Broyad. There are many questions to ascertain, one above all that relating to the quality of care received by Maradona. We will have to wait for the outcome of the additional examinations related to the autopsy. The only certainty lies in the criminal code: Article 84 provides for a sentence of between 1 and 5 years of imprisonment for those who “in exercising your profession you cause the death of someone due to imprudence, negligence or inexperience”.
