Maradona Case: Wrong Kidney Samples Shown

Swiss Medical, the health insurance company involved in the case, confirmed in a letter seen by AFP that the samples belonged to Diego Salustiano Maradona, Diego's father who died in 2015. The samples were incorrectly filed under Diego Armando Maradona's name.

The admission came after defense lawyers raised doubts about the authenticity of the kidney evidence. The court has been paused for a week to clarify the situation and is expected to resume on Thursday. Maradona died in 2020 at age 60 from heart failure and acute fluid buildup in his lungs, with seven people currently on trial for possible gross negligence in his death. forestarrow.rest
