It’s another anniversary of the departure of the man who, for many, was the best footballer in history. At least, on the earthly level. Since that fateful moment, questions about the conditions in which the Argentine star lived his last days have continued. The Argentine courts will decide the future of the accused in March.
“You’re not dead, they killed you. Justice will be done, I swear “. The post of Gianinna Maradona, the best daughter that Diego Maradona had in his marriage to Claudia Villafañe, is a mixture of sensations that overwhelm the most intimate circle of the star, who lost his life exactly four years ago, precisely because of the moment of his death. The death of someone considered by FIFA, in a Solomonic decision that also included Pelé, as the best footballer of the 20th century, has continued to raise questions. And above all accusations. There are a few from the family of Argentina’s captain in the 1986 World Cup, in which he won the World Cup and became immortal. There are also some from the court that surrounded the left-hander in his last years, where they generally emphasize the abandonment to which his main affections condemned him.
“I miss you today and always. I love you, dad. With all my soul. Four years ago, a part of me left with you. Life is more unfair and sometimes gray. nothing is the same . My happiness is the three of them,” completes the most heartbreaking part of the reflection.All three “The precision is worth it, it is about Diego, Villafañe and Dalma, their eldest daughter. The official account of the star, controlled by her children, goes in the same direction and in the same direction. “Justice “, he emphasizes, as part of an illustration in which the axis is one of the most emblematic images of Maradona as a footballer.
The doubts and accusations that continue to surround the sad end of Diego Maradona
Maradona’s death has given rise to a series of interpretations . The one that took the least time to emerge was linked to the well-known addictions of the star, a notorious user of cocaine, a drug from which he said he had recently distanced himself, precisely because of Dalma’s intervention. This assertion is, at this stage, unverifiable.. What cannot be denied, in light of the investigations, is that Diez’s last days were associated with the consumption of other substances: marijuana and alcohol to medications that were theoretically intended to control their anxiety states . The doubt, at this stage, is rather practical: whether or not there was malicious intent in keeping him under control with these “singular” strategies . According to the medical report, the death of number 10 occurred while he was sleeping due to a heart failure causing acute pulmonary edema .
The Argentine judicial system has eight health professionals, among whom stand out the names of neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque, psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov and psychologist Carlos Díaz in the spotlight. The list is completed Nancy Edith Forlini, Mariano Ariel Perroni, Diana Gisela Madrid, Ricardo Omar Almirón and Pedro Pablo Di Spagna .
The trial of the accused was scheduled to take place on October 1, but was postponed until March 11 next year.or, according to the judgment signed by judges Maximiliano Savarino and Verónica M. Di Tommaso, of the Criminal Court No. 3, and Julieta Makintach, member of the Criminal Court No. 2 .
The prosecutor’s hypothesis underlines the state of helplessness to which the former figure of Naples was condemned by those who, in theory, were destined to take care of it. “Deficient, reckless and indifferent “, are the adjectives used by persecutors to designate the behavior of medical personnel. The specific position is also a good summary of your possible responsibilities: homicide with possible intent . If found guilty, those involved could face prison sentences.
“What to say on this subject. I’m far away, I don’t know. The important thing is that justice is done, nothing more “, says Guillermo Coppola, who represented the star for much of his career, at The sportsman .
“You tell me ‘they killed him’ and for me Diego’s death is different. This means something different than most. Less than 96 hours after our separation, he had returned the powers, the contracts, he had ended this 50 percent partnership in which he participated. Today, they are fighting for rights, for signatures. A t-shirt is up for auction. Do you know how many items I have that I wouldn’t dare touch? Will they be my children or will I give them away? Because he doesn’t benefit from Diego’s death. It’s my style. Another age, another form,” he declared in April 2022, in an interview with this media.
“So they killed him? It’s hard. Did they worry? It’s very strong to say that they killed him. On October 30, I saw him tired. A Diego who could not walk, who could not stand, arrives on the gymnastics field. This is essential. Those who took him never knew who they were. If it was the ad, if it was Dr. Morla, who was it? To the one who showed this image to the world. Even dead, I wouldn’t have taken it out like that . So much so that I called the president of Gimnasia indignantly and he told me: “Guillermo, I have nothing to do with this. “I understand your anger.” It was impossible to watch. I was happy he was on the field. Even when he went to Mexico and people were attacking him because of the “eeeeehhh” he was constantly getting,” he added, regarding the image Maradona left in his last moments.
Memory and the project
What is clear is that Maradona has largely transcended death. In fact, this day was marked by memories and recognition all over the world. In Naples, the city that he literally positioned on the football map and even on the geographical map, given the oblivion to which it was condemned in the rest of Italy, one of the most important tributes was recorded. more significant: The coach, Antonio Conte, the club’s owner, Aurelio De Laurentiis, and the team captain, Giovanni di Lorenzo, visited the shrine in which an area of the city has been transformed to leave floral offerings to his memory. .
They weren’t the only ones. The Argentine national team, Argentinos Juniors, Boca Juniors, Newell’s Old Boys and Gimnasia y Esgrima, among the teams he joined as coach or player and others who had to settle for a gesture of proximity paid tribute to his irreplaceable figure.
His children, through the Maradona Foundation, they are preparing the M10 memorial where the remains of the former footballer will be transferred, which currently rest in the Jardín de Bellavista cemetery, in the town of San Miguel in Buenos Aires. The tomb is suspiciously guarded and outsiders cannot access the innermost core.
The project seeks to bring them closer to those who revere them. “It will be located between the Government House and Puerto Madero. It will have a covered area of 1,000 m² and will be able to accommodate 1 million visitors per year. A privileged location that will become a new icon of the city of Buenos Aires . Projected outside is the new Legacy Wall, which will include photos of all the men and women of Maradona who contribute to the Foundation. The M10 Memorial plans to open its doors in 2025, so that everyone can visit it, with free entry for Argentine citizens,” describes his presentation.
