Scandal at Maradona's trial: medical records were swapped with those of his father.

Buenos Aires – A heavy shadow has once again fallen over the trial for the death of Diego Armando Maradona, threatening to cause a second and sensational cancellation of the entire hearing just as the final phase of the trial approaches.

The Scam of the Swapped Folders

The breakthrough came during the review of the documents used by the prosecution's experts: one of the medical records included in the report did not belong to the Pibe de Oro, but to his father. A glaring error that immediately reignited tensions in the courtroom, prompting the prosecution to point the finger at the handling of the medical records.

The spotlight is now on Swiss Medical, the private insurance company to which the Argentine champion was registered, considered potentially responsible for the transfer of the incorrect files.

The public prosecutor's complaint

"Only those who set the trap could have known where it was hidden," prosecutor Patricio Ferrari firmly told reporters before entering the courtroom. Once inside, Ferrari doubled down during his speech, formalizing the possibility of a procedural conspiracy: "They deceived us, they committed a crime with the aim of confusing the situation and causing the case to collapse now that we're almost at the end. But it was to no avail: they won't be able to make it fail."

Searches and hunt for originals

The seven members of the medical team charged with Maradona's medical care during his post-operative recovery for the removal of his subdural hematoma remain under investigation. To prevent the bureaucratic snafu from jeopardizing years of litigation, prosecutor Ferrari and Fernando Burlando, the lawyer for Diego's daughters, have formally requested the judge immediately search the offices of Swiss Medical and the two medical facilities where the champion was treated, with the aim of seizing all original medical records.
