In the late afternoon of Wednesday (25), about five hours after the death of Diego Armando Maradona, the president of Argentina, Alberto Fernández, called Claudia Villafañe, 60, the player’s ex-wife.
He offered the Casa Rosada to host the funeral and the proposal was accepted. Fernández said that everything would be done according to the will of her and her daughters, Dalma, 33, and Gianinna, 31.
Earlier, Juan Román Riquelme, another historic 10 from Boca Juniors and vice president of the club, had made the La Bombonera stadium available to the family.
At the request of the three women, the burial ceremony at the Bella Vista Cemetery was reserved for just 25 people. The members of Diego’s so-called “environment” were removed and were not among them.
This staff, which includes lawyer Matías Morla and doctor Leopoldo Luque, had previously been prevented from entering the condominium where the idol died.
Morla made clear her discomfort about the situation. He said on social media that “the ambulance took more than half an hour to arrive” and accused those who accompanied Maradona, when he was ill, of having acted very slowly, first by calling the condominium doctor and only after contacting the doctor. ex-athlete staff and an ambulance.
“It was criminal idiocy,” he snapped. Neither Morla nor Luque entered the Casa Rosada for the funeral.
The daughters and the ex-wife initially refused to allow the player’s autopsy, but then consented and appointed a trusted expert. The conclusion was chronic heart failure.
In Maradona’s troubled existence, family was one of his biggest inconsistencies. He said several times that Claudia was the love of his life, but died fighting with her in court over money and real estate. He claimed that Dalma and Gianinna were everything to him, but he saw little of them. They both sided with the mother in the discussions.
Both attribute the distance to the player’s environment. They maintain that they would have liked to take charge of their father’s health and agenda, but they prevented it. Gianinna says she went to visit him with Benjamin, her son with forward Sergio Agüero, on October 30, Diego’s 60th birthday, but he stayed only a few minutes.
Matías Morla took care of all matters on behalf of Maradona. On the same November 2, when the star was admitted to a clinic in La Plata, his Instagram account published an advertisement for cigarettes, later deleted.
During the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Morla requested US $ 30 thousand (about R $ 150 thousand in current values) for interviews with the former player, who was in the country under a contract with Puma (manufacturer of sports equipment). and Telesur, a multi-state television network of countries with left-wing governments in South America.
Gianinna and Dalma have used their social networks again in recent days to attack Morla and company, saying that their father had been used for a long time for advertising, commercial and personal projection of some figures.
After Diego was transferred from La Plata to Buenos Aires to remove a bruise on his head, the daughters sent for another doctor, in addition to Leopoldo Luque, to get a second opinion, showing that they did not fully trust the neurologist. As a result, the operation was delayed for a few hours.
Luque posted a photo with the patient before he left the hospital on the 11th, breaking a deal to preserve him and enraging his daughters. Later, he apologized and said he had authorization from Maradona.
The family life of the greatest 10 of the Argentine jersey was like all other facets of his existence. Full of comings and goings, loves and breaks. Even after divorcing Claudia in 2003, she continued to deal with various aspects of her ex-husband’s daily life for a period.
Later, he maintained relations with Verónica Ojeda, who was at the funeral and burial with her son Dieguito Fernando, and Rocío Oliva, who was banned from the two ceremonies of the day.
Diego Maradona was buried in the Bella Vista cemetery, on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, to be close to his parents, Don Diego and Tota. The two raised their son in the poor neighborhood of Villa Fiorito, in a tiled house full of holes, built by his own father. A worker in the meat industry, he was absent for much of the ace’s childhood because he had to work.
Tota, on the other hand, was the reason for her son’s adoration. He died in 2011 and his best friends said that after that he was never the same person again.
