Overview
- During nephrologist Hernán Trimarchi’s testimony this Tuesday, defence lawyers identified laboratory reports dated 2012–2015 that appear to belong to Diego Maradona’s father rather than to Maradona himself.
- Defence teams have asked the court to obtain Swiss Medical affiliation lists and Dirección Nacional de Migraciones records to verify who the disputed studies actually belong to.
- Prosecutors say the questioned documents are a small number of laboratory analyses and likely have limited impact on their case, a position vigorously contested by several defence lawyers.
- The 22‑member 2021 Junta Médica report is central to the prosecution’s claim that domiciliary care was deficient, and defendants are now evaluating motions to impugn parts of that report or seek nullity for affected proceedings.
- The tribunal has paused hearings for further verification, peritos continue to be examined, and the court may issue targeted subpoenas and factual checks to decide how the error affects the expert evidence and the trial’s next steps.
