Maradona Trial: Bodyguard Arrested for False Testimony

Julio Coria, former bodyguard of Diego Maradona, was detained during court proceedings after contradictions in his statements were revealed.

The arrest occurred on March 25, 2025, during the ongoing trial investigating alleged medical negligence in Diego Maradona's death.
Coria's testimony included omissions and contradictions, such as denying communication with Maradona's personal doctor, Leopoldo Luque, despite evidence of exchanged messages.
He also failed to initially disclose that psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov attempted to resuscitate Maradona on the day of his death.
The trial, which began on March 11, 2025, involves seven healthcare professionals facing charges of 'homicide with dol eventual,' carrying potential sentences of 8 to 25 years.
Maradona, an Argentine football icon, died on November 25, 2020, from cardiorespiratory arrest while recovering from brain surgery.
