One of those accused of Maradona's death broke the silence: "What criminal plan do they want to implicate me in, if he was my idol?"

Mariano Perroni (45) was the coordinator of the nurses who attended to Diez and this Thursday he testified for the first time in the trial. He spoke for three hours and cried as he recalled how the indictment affected him and his family. "They called me a murderer," he said. Earlier there was an intense confrontation between two other defendants and lawyer Víctor Stinfale testified as a witness.
