In the court's latest session it was raised: Maradona's son objects, demands more prison time for the accused!

Lawyer for Diego Maradona's son calls for tougher action against the defendants in his father's death case.

According to "Varzesh Se", the lawyer of one of Maradona's children, who is one of the private plaintiffs in the court related to his death in 2020, demanded heavier sentences for the main defendants of the medical team, sentences that exceed the amount of punishments that the prosecutor requested for them.

In this meeting, different evaluations were presented by the lawyers, which show that despite the passage of six months since the beginning of this trial, the responsibilities have not yet been fully determined. One lawyer called for the conviction of an addiction specialist who treated the Argentine soccer star for 12 years, while another called for his acquittal.

In the San Isidro court, north of the capital, Mario Bodri, the lawyer for Maradona's youngest child, Diego Fernando, known as Dieguito, asked for 16 years in prison for Leopoldo Lucci, the soccer star's trusted doctor, and Nancy Forlini, the medical coordinator, as well as 14 years in prison for Agustina Kosatsov, a psychiatrist. In addition, a ban on professional activity for at least 10 years was also requested for them.

In front of these three people, who are known as the most influential or decision-making people in the life of Maradona in his final days, the prosecutor on Thursday asked for sentences of 12, 10 and 8 years in prison for them. "From the beginning, Loki knew what was going to happen," Baudry said. "He knew that Maradona would die because of the treatments he was receiving, but he did nothing." He also demanded that Carlos Dias, a psychologist and addiction specialist, be sentenced to 12 years in prison, while prosecutors wanted only five years in prison.

Boudry also asked for the immediate arrest of all four defendants if convicted, a request prosecutors did not make, citing the risk of them fleeing justice. As requested by prosecutors, Boudry called for four years in prison for nursing coordinator Mariano Perron and nurse Ricardo Almiron, while acquitting Pedro de España, a foreign doctor who visited Maradona only once during his two-week recovery.

Seven healthcare workers are on trial for alleged medical negligence that may have led to Maradona's death while he was being treated at home following head surgery. After Boudry, Felix Linfanti, the lawyer of Maradona's daughter, who was recognized as her legal child in 2014, spoke and accused Dr. Loki of a "deficit in his duty."

"Loki didn't go there to meet the patient, he just asked if she was still alive," the prosecutor insisted. He knew things were not going well, but he decided to let her go. "He accepted Maradona's death." and demanded that he be sentenced to 12 years in prison.

In his final defense on Thursday, prosecutors condemned the medical team's organizational blunder, which led to the 1986 World Cup star in Mexico being left in a "state of indifference" despite having warning signs, such as heart failure and edema. Citing expert testimony in court Tuesday, Linfanti emphasized Nancy Forlini's responsibility, saying, "You can kill someone by being negligent." He emphasized that if "careful daily checks were carried out, all the symptoms would have been detected" and called for him to be sentenced to 10 years in prison. However, he called for Dias' psychiatrist to be acquitted because, despite his "volatile behavior," he had "little decision-making power" within the medical team.

Maradona died at the age of 60 due to a cardiorespiratory crisis with pulmonary edema. On November 25, 2020, he was found dead in his bed in the house he had rented for convalescence. After the final defense, sentencing is expected to be postponed.
