Veronica Ojeda accuses Diego’s staff: “In the house where they kept him locked up there were no hygienic conditions, they lied to shamelessly and he asked me to come away with me every time I saw him”
“Diego was seized.” To the ninth hearing of the trial on the death of Diego Maradona at the San Isidro court the tough testimony of Veronica Ojeda, former partner of Diego Armando Maradona and mother of Dieguto Fernando (who is today 12 years old) confirms what everyone now think about the last tragic days of Diez and increases the regrets for what could have been and had to do to save the life of Diez. Before Veronica, he testified to the Schiter’s family doctor, confirming that Diego should not have continued with his healing in the hospital while the other trusted doctor of Maradona, Leopoldo Luque, forced him to heal himself at home. “Diego was kidnapped, he was afraid and asked for help – said Veronica – when I saw him he told me he wanted to go away with me. But what could I have done?”. Veronica had interrupted the relationship with Maradona in 2018. In recent times it has been difficult for her to return to being in contact with him.
“His entourage did not allow me to get closer to him. I was with Diego for 9 years, I knew him and I also knew Diego’s grimaces. When he was good when he was bad, I knew and I understood that something was happening to him,” he said.
“He told me that he had a house in La Plata and that he wanted to go there, but they did not allow him. And I told him that with an authorization he could leave. With the help of my partner we led him to La Plata. There he was revived. He saw my son on alternate days, they had fun”. Veronica’s testimony was very strong, often interrupted by tears. Diego’s ex -wife did not spare charges to Maximiliano Pomargo and Vanessa Morla, Diego’s assistants and the bodyguard Julio Coria, accused of false testimony. But it is above all against Luque and the psychiatrist who has lashed out: “They died of it shamelessly, to us and to the whole family. They had told me that Tiger’s residence was the right place to cure themselves after the operation, according to them in that house there would have been everything you need. Two days before death I went to see him and he was in pitiful condition, in the room where he was there was a strong stink of urine and The very swollen hands with him was only a nurse and the bodyguard.
