A lawyer representing Leopoldo Luque, the doctor charged in connection with the 2020 death of Diego Maradona in Argentina, argued Wednesday that his client is innocent. During closing arguments in San Isidro, the lawyer asserted that Luque was unfairly designated a “scapegoat” for the football legend’s passing. The defense maintains Luque provided adequate medical care to Maradona. The case centers around allegations of improper medical attention leading up to Maradona’s death. A verdict is pending as the Argentine court deliberates over the evidence presented. The outcome will determine whether Luque faces further legal consequences regarding Maradona’s death.
