The controversy over Morena Rial's psychologist: he's charged in the Maradona case

Morena Rial was involved in a new controversy after it was revealed who her current psychologist is.

The professional attending to her is none other than Carlos Díaz, one of the eight defendants in the case concerning the death of Diego Maradona.

An unexpected twist in Morena's legal case

This Wednesday on DDM (América TV), Mariana Fabbiani's program, a piece of information was revealed that surprised everyone.

Morena, who was required to undergo psychiatric treatment by court order, finally started therapy. But she chose a professional who is involved in a very delicate criminal case.

Who is Carlos Díaz?

Carlos Díaz is one of the eight defendants in the case concerning the death of Diego Armando Maradona.

In 2020, he was part of the medical team that attended to the idol during his last days. He is accused of professional negligence, along with other colleagues.

A choice that caused backlash

"Does she really choose someone who is charged with Maradona's death?" journalist Martín Candalaft asked when revealing the information.

The comment caused a stir, as both Morena's decision and the judicial approval for her to continue with that treatment are questioned.

The connection with Maradona's circle

Carlos Díaz has ties with several individuals involved in the case of the Ten. According to Candalaft, lawyer Miguel Ángel Pierri sees him frequently.

Pierri represents Mariano Perroni, another defendant in the death of the former player. Therefore, some analysts consider that it is all part of the same judicial framework.

What Carlos Díaz said about Maradona's death

In previous statements, the psychologist defended himself against the accusations. "There was never a plan to kill him," he assured.

He also expressed his discontent with how the case was handled: "It saddens me that his death was so mishandled."
