La Fiscalía pide 12 años de cárcel para el médico que atendió antes de su muerte a Maradona
La acusación pide además al tribunal que condene a penas de entre 4 y 10 años de cárcel al resto del equipo que trató al astro fútbol argentino tras ser operado de un hematoma subdural
The Argentine prosecutor's office is seeking a 12-year prison sentence for the doctor who treated Maradona before his death. According to the charges, Diego Armando Maradona died on November 25, 2020, due to the negligence of the medical team that cared for him in his final days. The prosecutor alleges that the main culprit in Maradona's death was his personal physician, neurosurgeon Leopoldo Duque, who "did everything possible to make things go wrong."
Prosecutor Patricio Ferrari argued before the court on Thursday for a 12-year prison term for Duque on charges of manslaughter with possible intent. The prosecution contends that Duque knew the health risks Maradona faced, could have intervened to prevent them, but failed to do so. Additionally, the public prosecutor's office, which includes prosecutor Cosme Iribarren, has requested 10 years in prison for Nancy Forlini, the coordinator of the private health insurer Swiss Medical, and 8 years for psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov.
