After the confirmation of the footballer's death, a senior officer and the head of the Tigre Departmental Police Station arrived at his home. In a recent hearing, lawyers Rodolfo Baqué and Martín De Vargas were removed from the defense of nurse Ricardo Almirón due to conflicts of interest. Baqué represents another accused in the case.
The defendants in the case of simple homicide with eventual intent include neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque, psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov, psychologist Carlos Díaz, nurse Ricardo Almirón, head nurse Mariano Perroni, clinical doctor Pedro Pablo Di Spagna, and coordinating doctor of the prepaid medical plan Nancy Edith Forlini.
The report of the circumstances surrounding the death of Diego Armando Maradona details the presence of several officers, including the officer who first arrived at the scene after receiving information about the footballer's health.
