Without peace. At the trial for the death of Diego Armando Maradona in November 2020 is the time for the testimony of Gianinna, the younger daughter that El Pibe de Oro had with Claudia Villafane. And in the Court of San Isidro the woman in tears accused Leopoldo Luque, a former personal doctor of Diego and the main defendant. “It was all a staging – said Gianinna – a play to carry on what they wanted: isolar dad in a dark and bad place” “. And then: “Even if I did not completely agree with the home hospitalization, I chose to give them confidence (the reference is to the medical team who had the former footballer cured). They had followed Dad for some time and offered us this option, they would have placed that house adequately for a real home hospitalization”.

During the hearing the registration of the meeting of 10 November 2020 was reproduced, the one in which it was decided to transfer Maradona from the Olivos clinic to the apartment in which he would have died two weeks later. “It hurts a lot to listen to that conversation – continued Diego’s daughter -, everything that had been promised and then was not kept, the things that had been assured us that then they did not come true. I feel that it was a horrible manipulation, it makes me a lot of anger, I would like to be able to go back in time and chase them all away”.

Gianinna also spoke of the conditions in which her father was facing a week before death. “He was very swollen, they didn’t even see his eyes, he had a robot voice but they told us that we had to leave him his space, which was part of the recovery process, which dad wanted to be alone”.
