During the fifteenth hearing of the trial investigating the circumstances of Diego Armando Maradona's death, the prosecution has formally requested a search of the Olivos Clinic, where the Argentine football star was hospitalized before his death. The request was made following the statement of Pablo Dimitroff, the clinical director of the medical center, who assured that all necessary pre-surgical checks were carried out before the intervention Maradona underwent.
The prosecution has expressed its interest in carefully examining all the records of the Olivos Clinic corresponding to the period in which Maradona was admitted, from November 3 to 11, 2020. This request comes after contradictory testimonies from other witnesses presented in the trial. Given this discrepancy, the prosecution team seeks to review both the electronic and physical records of the clinic to clarify the facts.
Following the prosecution's request for a search, the court has decided to take a recess to deliberate on the viability of this measure. It is expected that in the coming hours the resolution on this matter will be known. This news is developing and will be updated as new information becomes available.
