The prosecutor in the Maradona case says a crime occurred and the trial will not collapse
Deputy chief prosecutor for San Isidro Patricio Ferrari said on Thursday that the delivery of medical records belonging to Diego Armando Maradona's father, rather than the footballer's own, may constitute a criminal offence, and ruled out that the discovery will halt the trial over the star's death in November 2020.
The prosecutor in the Maradona case, Deputy Chief Patricio Ferrari, has stated that a crime occurred involving the delivery of medical records belonging to Diego Armando Maradona's father, rather than the footballer himself. Ferrari ruled out that the discovery will halt the trial over the star's death in November 2020, calling it a "continuing offence" that began on January 5, 2021, when Swiss Medical sent the documentation to prosecutors.
The irregularity was discovered when lawyers for Nancy Forlini, Swiss Medical's medical coordinator and one of the defendants, noticed that the medical panel examining the circumstances of the death had reviewed tests belonging to the player's father, who died in June 2015 and shared his name.
