Overview
- This week the last custodian, Martín “Chori” Domínguez, told the San Isidro court he repeatedly warned doctor Leopoldo Luque that Maradona was swollen, eating little and largely bedridden.
- Masseur Nicolás Taffarel testified that he warned the medical team about progressive edema, said nurses told him diuretics had been withdrawn, and recounted Maradona’s last words to him: “No quiero nada, ya está.”
- Accused nurse Ricardo Almirón gave his first full testimony describing his shifts and the checks he made overnight before the death while defending the accuracy of his nursing records.
- Prosecutors have played audios and WhatsApp exchanges and shown nursing notes to support their claim that caregivers knew of severe fluid retention and failed to act, a fact central to the homicide charge based on dolo eventual.
- The tribunal is preparing to hear the Junta Médica report next, a step that could determine whether the team’s conduct meets the legal standard for criminal responsibility and lead to multi‑year prison exposure for the accused.
