Overview
- Following Tuesday’s ninth hearing, which stalled for hours due to broken microphones, two Ipensa doctors testified about Maradona’s condition and care.
- Clinician Marcos Correa said a CT showed a chronic subdural hematoma and testified that Leopoldo Luque pushed to operate despite an initial plan to observe.
- Cardiologist Óscar Franco said Maradona had hypertension, had stopped taking Losartan by November 2020, and that Luque declined a heart perfusion study he proposed.
- Prosecutors played chats and audios involving Agustina Cosachov and Carlos Díaz, and the court scheduled Luque and Díaz to return Thursday to address those recordings.
- Autopsy witness Mario Schiter is slated to testify about lung fluid and an enlarged, dilated heart, as eight health workers continue to face homicide charges under Argentina’s ‘dolo eventual’ standard.
