The participation of Leopoldo Luque in Maradona's death

One of the people charged in the case investigating the death of Diego Maradona is the neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque, who was also Diego's friend, according to his own account. During this time, in addition to being the target of the investigation and the protagonist of the audios that were leaked -in which he insulted Diego's daughters or even spoke disparagingly of him-, Luque remained silent.

However, he referred to the scandalous audios, the conclusion of the Medical Board, Maradona's family and more. "I am ashamed of some messages that I sent. I regret and apologize to the family and to the people who loved him very much," said the doctor, who also said that he continues to work and operate patients, adding: "My cell phone was taken away, The little that I can hear I am ashamed, what they show on television. It seems that they erase a relationship and try to summarize it from a series of messages of which I regret, I apologize. I hope the prosecution will return the phone to me, I have many messages from affection".

For his part, he repeated that he was not the Argentine star's general practitioner. "I am a neurosurgeon, I had a good relationship with Diego and I never assumed the role of cardiologist or clinician. I took him twice for check-ups so that the specialists could evaluate him. In life he had no symptoms. I never saw him swollen as they said. "He highlighted and detailed how he saw Diego:" I never saw him insane. He had transitory disorders due to alcohol consumption. The other doctors told me 'I got out of there kid, which is for quilombo".
