The Chamber of Appeals and Guarantees of San Isidro confirmed today that neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luquethe psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov and the other six health professionals accused of the death of Diego Armando Maradonago to trial accused of having committed a “simple homicide with eventual intent”as the prosecutors and the judge in the case had ordered last year, reported judicial sources.
The decision was adopted unanimously in a ruling by Chamber III of the aforementioned court of appeal, made up of the chambers Carlos Fabian Blanco, Gustavo Adrian Herbel and Ernesto Garcia Maañón.
In this way, in a future oral trial, the eight defendants will face a possible sentence of between 8 and 25 years in prison.
By rejecting, among other points, the annulment of the request for trial, the chambers highlighted in their ruling today: “The public prosecution made a complete description of Fact 1 (the eventual intentional homicide of Maradona), listing the actions or omissions that they considered reprehensible to each of the accused and that, in their opinion, would have affected the fatal outcome foisted” .
“The prosecution begins its accusation by indicating who was in charge of the patient’s care, locating the indicated situation in time and place, to then refer specifically to how each one of them performed, according to the roles assumed, establishing what way his misconduct determined the death of Maradona”the judge says in his vote Herbel.
The judges of the Camera they also endorsed the medical board key that complicated the eight defendants responsible for health and rejected the dismissals and the change of qualification that several of the defenses had proposed, including those of luke and Cossachevby the figure of “culpable homicide” (with a lesser penalty of 1 to 5 years in prison).
The only thing in which the chamber members did resolve in favor of the defenses was to partially revoke the trial in relation to the so-called Acts 2 and 3, accused of luke and Cossachevreferring to “use of false private document” that they accused the neurosurgeon for having allegedly used a forged signature of Maradona to request a medical history; Yet the “ideological falsehood” for which the psychiatrist was accused of having allegedly produced a certificate of mental aptitude for Diego without going to visit him.
In addition to the already mentioned luke (41) and Cossachev (37), the other six defendants in the case are the psychologist Carlos Angel “Charly” Diaz (30); the medical coordinator of the prepaid Swiss Medical, Nancy Edith Forlini (53); the nursing coordinator Mariano Ariel Perroni (41); the nurses Dahiana Gisela Madrid (38) and R.icardo omar almiron (39); and the clinical doctor Peter Paul Di Spagna (49).
