Buenos Aires, Argentina: A former bodyguard of the late Diego Maradona was arrested on Tuesday for having allegedly retained the information and lying during his testimony during the trial of the medical team of Soccer Great.
Seven health professionals are tried before an Argentinian court accused of negligence in the death of Maradona in a house outside Buenos Aires on November 25, 2020.
On Tuesday, following a request from the prosecutor’s office, the criminal court of the suburbs of Buenos Aires in San Isidro ordered Julio Césia to be the subject of a false testimony. He was arrested and stayed in detention on Tuesday afternoon.
Coria was one of the people who tried to resuscitate Maradona.
According to the accusation, the accused professionals did not provide adequate medical care.
Coria said in court on Tuesday on Tuesday when he entered Maradona’s room, he saw the nurse Gisela Madrid and the psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov, both accused in the case, performing the RCR. He added that Cosachov had given Maradona a “mouth -to -mouth resuscitation” for a while.
The prosecutor of the trial, Patricio Ferrari, warned the witness of contradictions in his declaration.
The accusation warned Coria that he had lied when he denied court after talking to another defendants, the neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque.
“There are countless conversations between Luque and Coria, which demonstrate a cordial and almost friendly relationship, and the witness denied having had a conversation,” said Ferrari.
Luque, Maradona’s personal doctor during the last four years of his life, has carried out surgery to eliminate a blood clot from the former footballer’s brain a few weeks before his death.
Maradona’s 28 -year -old girl Jana said on Tuesday that Luque and Coria had suggested “home hospitalization” when the clinic authorities recommended Maradona to remain hospitalized.
