Overview

• Gianinna Maradona testified in the San Isidro court, accusing her father’s medical team, led by Dr. Leopoldo Luque, of orchestrating events to isolate him in substandard conditions.
• A November 10, 2020 recording played during the trial revealed the decision to discharge Maradona to an inadequately prepared home, where he died two weeks later.
• Gianinna highlighted severe health issues her father faced a week before his death, including extreme swelling and difficulty speaking, which doctors dismissed as part of recovery.
• She expressed anger over what she called ‘horrific manipulation’ by the medical team, who failed to deliver on promises of a properly equipped home care setup.
• The trial continues, with seven medical professionals, including Dr. Luque, facing involuntary homicide charges that could lead to up to 25 years in prison.
