Daughters of the late football legend, Diego Maradona, are demanding justice 1,000 days after his death.
The Argentina great, widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, passed away on November 25, 2020, at the age of 60.
Maradona’s daughters Giannina and Dalma believe that their father’s death was premeditated.
Back in April, it was announced that there would be a trial for Maradona’s death, with eight people to be tried for the alleged crime of simple homicide with eventual intent.
The eight defendants are: neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque, psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov, psychologist Carlos Diaz, Nancy Forlini (a doctor who co-ordinated Maradona’s home care), Mariano Perroni (the co-ordinator of the nurses), nurse Ricardo Omar Almiron, nurse Dahiana Gisela Madrid and clinical doctor Pedro Di Spagna.
Dalma stated on Instagram: ‘My dad didn’t want to die. The worst 1,000 days in the world.’
Giannina wrote that she will continue fighting for justice and mentioned the negligence and mistreatment of her father as revealed in multiple reports.
Maradona’s cause of death was officially listed as: ‘acute pulmonary edema secondary to exacerbated chronic heart failure.’
Maradona scored 34 goals in 91 games for Argentina and won the World Cup in 1986
He played for Argentinos Juniors, Boca Juniors, Barcelona, Napoli, Sevilla, and Newell’s Old Boys.
