Buenos Aires, March 2 (NA) – Rodolfo Baqué, the lawyer for nurse Dahiana Gisela Madrid, one of the eight accused in the death of Diego Armando Maradona, reported this Monday that the prosecutors 'forgot' to bring the evidence to the preliminary hearing and could not set a date for the jury trial. In dialogue with the Argentine News Agency, Baqué pointed out that Patricio Ferrari and Cosme Iribarren did not present the material in the San Isidro Courts so that Judge María Coelho of TOC No. 7 could advance the process in which Madrid is accused. 'The prosecutors are the theocracy of Iran,' emphasized the lawyer, while describing the event as a 'scandal' because 'five years and four months' after Maradona's death, the trial has not yet begun. Maradona Case: There will be a new preliminary hearing on April 6 in the trial against the nurse. In this sense, he appealed to a famous phrase from the former player to refer to the performance of the prosecutors: 'The turtle escaped them.' In this regard, he indicated that he proposed eight witnesses, but the representatives of the Public Prosecutor's Office rejected them, so Coelho set a new summons for next April 6 at Ituzaingó 340. Madrid was one of the nurses who, together with Ricardo Omar Almirón, attended to Maradona in the San Andrés country club, where the former footballer was found dead on November 25 as a result of acute pulmonary edema and heart failure. Meanwhile, on March 17, the second oral and public hearing of the case will begin and the alleged culpabilities of neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque; psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov; psychologist Carlos Díaz; nurse coordinator Mariano Perroni; head of Swiss Medical in charge of home hospitalization in Benavídez, Nancy Edith Forlini; clinical doctor Pedro Di Spagna and the aforementioned Almirón will be determined. The first process was annulled after the filming of the documentary 'Divine Justice', starring former judge Julieta Makintach.
