The therapeutic companion who treated Diego Armando Maradona Shortly before his death, Carlos Roberto Bacchini, declared today at the trial for the death of the star and said that the assistant Maximiliano Pomargo and the nephew of the Argentine idol Jonathan Espósito blocked the telephone calls of the former soccer player.
“I always came that Johny and Maxi attended the phone and said: 'The ten is resting.' I don't know who they called, but Diego was perhaps talking to us. He asked and never told him who he was,” Bacchini said Thursday, in reference to Maradona's assistant, Maximiliano Pomargo, and his nephew Jonathan Espósito.
Last Tuesday, one of the daughters of the star, Gianinna Maradona told the court: “Once he told me: 'I called you yesterday, I wanted to see Benja (his son).' No, you didn't call me yesterday. Let's see, give me the phone. My dad had a number that was not mine,” Dalma Maradona, another of the daughters, told a month ago before the court: “He called me and told me 'You never come, come, bring me to the baby'. But I went and from the door I start calling and they tell me that he is asleep, I went in the car with a baby and did not let me in.

Asked about who did not allow her to see her father, Dalma replied: “I appoint Maxi Pomargo but I know that he received orders from Matías Morla (Maradona's lawyer) and in fact he told me: 'I have no problem in which you enter to see your dad, but this will bring me problems with Matías. I have orders not to let you enter'” Many times. “
In that sense, Bacchini said that on one occasion he had tried to communicate with Maradona “and neither was with a signal.” In turn, the witness said that “Maradona did not let the nurses enter the room” and that the medication was given through the nephew or the cook.
The testimony of psychologist Carlos Díaz, postponed
Bacchini also declared that the therapeutic accompaniment service provided to the star was discontinued on Friday, November 13. “What my boss told me later was that Diego had said that he did not want so many people at home,” Bacchini said that, however, he added that, during the three days he was in the house, the patient “let himself be helped” and “was fine.” “Maradona did not express any kind of discomfort with my person, on the contrary, he felt good,” said the witness.
For the hearing on Tuesday the testimony of one of the accused, the psychologist Carlos Díaz, who was postponed due to an attempt to challenge Judge Julieta Makintach, one of the three members of the Court, which lasted long of the day, was planned.
