Kidney Samples in Maradona Case Actually Father's

Swiss Medical admitted in a letter that the kidney samples, shown during the trial last week, were mistakenly archived under Diego Armando Maradona's name when they actually belonged to his father Diego Salustiano Maradona, who died in 2015. The defense had raised doubts about the samples, prompting the court to take a week-long pause to clarify the situation. The trial is expected to resume Thursday.

Maradona died at age 60 from heart failure and fluid in his lungs. Seven individuals, including his personal doctor and medical staff, are on trial for possible negligence that may have contributed to his death in November 2020. They face up to 25 years in prison if convicted, though all have pleaded not guilty. The trial has been ongoing since April and is expected to conclude no earlier than September. amunra-online.pl
