Overview
- Neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque presented the recording during Thursday’s hearing, and the judges entered it into the court file.
- The message, sent September 1, 2020, captures Verónica Ojeda asking for clinical tests after sudden mood and behavior shifts she saw at a Brandsen ranch.
- In the audio, Ojeda raises the possibility that Claudia Villafañe and daughters Gianinna and Dalma put something in Maradona’s drink, which remains an allegation under review.
- Lawyers highlighted Ojeda’s account that Maradona confused his young son with a grandson to show his decline in the months before his death.
- Luque also played a November 14, 2020 voice note in which he says he was ending his role as doctor and faults Maradona’s daughters, underscoring deep personal rifts around his care.
