Overview
- Three nurses — Tamara Débora Mansilla, Aldo Arnez Zenteno and Diana Loreley Cáceres — gave key testimony Thursday about conditions in Diego Maradona’s San Andrés home during the criminal trial.
- All three said basic emergency logistics were missing at the residence, reporting no defibrillator, no emergency kit and no ambulance assigned to the property.
- Witnesses described routine patient notes and orders kept informally, including unsigned medication instructions posted on the refrigerator, and said daily reports were sent through a WhatsApp group called “Tigre” and in care planillas now entered as evidence.
- Doctor Pedro Di Spagna told the court he acted only as an interconsultant who could suggest care but not make final treatment decisions, while defense lawyers sought to undermine nurse testimony by questioning witness neutrality.
- The testimony matters to the prosecution’s charge of homicidio simple con dolo eventual because it aims to show whether the care team knowingly exposed Maradona to a fatal risk and could carry sentences of eight to 25 years if convictions follow.
