They reveal compromising audios of Luque in the trial over Maradona's death

During the progress of the  trial for the death of Diego Armando Maradona, unreleased audios emerged that further complicated Leopoldo Luque, the main accused in the case. The neurosurgeon held private conversations with a colleague,  in which he asked how he should legally protect himself if the former player died.

The recordings, which will be included in the hearings of the Oral Court No. 3 of San Isidro,  date from April 25, 2020. In them, Luque expressed doubts about how to act in the event of a possible death of the "10" and acknowledged not having institutional support.

Audios revealed his concern about legal consequences

In one of the messages, Luque said: "The guy is better at times, but he's an alcoholic, takes pills. A psychiatrist saw him, but he doesn't want to know anything about mental health. If he dies, they're all going to come for my neck. How do you suggest I legally cover myself?" His approach revealed a  more legal than medical concern.

In another audio, he confessed that he never formally recorded the care for Maradona.  "If I write something today, what validity does it have? It's not an institution, it's something personal," he stated. According to journalist Martín Candalaft,  Luque tried to surround himself with doctors to protect himself, including psychiatrist  Agustina Cosachov,  also charged.

In the third message, the neurosurgeon mentioned Maradona's previous hospitalizations at the Olivos clinic, noting that part of his treatment had been documented there.

The colleague suggested he formalize the medical record

Candalaft read the responses Luque received:  "Do it," his colleague advised regarding leaving a written record. When asked "Should I have him sign something?", the doctor didn't hesitate to recommend it. These responses evidenced the precariousness with which the Argentine idol's health was managed.

The journalist clarified that the professional had no direct relation to Maradona's death. Her intervention was limited to a consultation between colleagues, motivated by the concern that already existed seven months before the star's passing.

With these new pieces of evidence,  the legal situation of Luque and Cosachov became even more compromised,  while the trial continues with constant media and public attention.
