BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AFP)—An Argentine health insurance company admitted that medical tests presented at the trial over the death of late football icon Diego Maradona were in fact those of his father, also called Diego.
In a letter seen by AFP on Monday, Swiss Medical admitted that tests it released to a medical commission investigating Maradona’s death “remained mistakenly filed under the name Diego Armando Maradona” when in fact they belonged to his late father, Diego Salustiano Maradona.
The older Maradona died in 2015, five years before the man considered one of football’s greatest ever players.
