Maradona Trial Deepens Family Rift Over Psychologist’s Absolution Request

Dalma’s Instagram rebuke followed a formal court plea to clear a caregiver and highlights sharply split legal strategies that could shape who is held responsible for Diego Maradona’s death.

Overview

  • The dispute intensified after Jana’s lawyer, Félix L’Infante, formally asked the court to absolve psychologist Carlos Díaz of criminal charges in the ongoing trial.
  • Dalma Maradona publicly criticized her sister on Instagram on Thursday for that decision, calling the absolution request “incomprehensible” and accusing Jana of betraying the family’s pursuit of justice.
  • Lawyers for Dalma and Gianinna have alleged in court that Díaz limited nursing checks to medication and ordered that the daughters not visit Maradona during his home hospitalization in Tigre.
  • Other legal teams have taken opposing views: Pablo Jurado argued Díaz should not be charged due to his role, while Fernando Burlando’s querella seeks a five-year prison term and ten-year professional disqualification for Díaz.
  • The split between heirs and their lawyers is now a central issue in the trial because the court must weigh these competing narratives about who made decisions about care and whether omissions contributed to Maradona’s death.
