Overview
- Verónica Ojeda resumed testimony Thursday, and judges admitted her recording of the Clínica Olivos meeting where Maradona’s home care was approved for comparison with an earlier audio in the case.
- Prosecutors read chats and voice notes in which Agustina Cosachov told Carlos Díaz that she and Leopoldo Luque were “on the same line,” and Díaz dismissed Ojeda, prompting her tearful accusation that the team “killed” the father of her son.
- Ojeda said the Benavídez house was unfit for medical care, citing no device to take blood pressure, a foul-smelling playroom used as a bedroom with a chamber pot, alcohol stocked in the fridge, and a swollen, unwashed Maradona days before his death.
- Other testimony Thursday included first responder Collin Campbell, while accused psychologist Carlos Díaz said Maradona had bipolar disorder alongside addiction and claimed toxicology showed 23 days without alcohol.
- Neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque expanded his defense with audios and argued Maradona “died sleeping,” denying blame in a clash with Ojeda, as the court kept the trial in its evidence phase with further hearings scheduled.
