Diego Armando Maradona Junior, the son of Argentine football legend Diego Maradona, has shockingly claimed that his father was murdered.
Armando, in a viral video on Tuesday, stated that he knows who the perpetrator is and is determined to seek justice for his father’s untimely death.
Speaking to Italian mass media company Mediaset, Armando disclosed, “There is an open investigation. We – his children – have a lot of faith in Argentine justice. I’m convinced that this should not have ended like this. They killed my father. It is not my job to say who did it; I have my own idea, but I can’t say it.”
Expressing his disappointment, he added, “They left him to his fate when something could have been done. I made a promise: until the last day of my life, I’ll fight for justice.”
Diego Maradona passed away in November 2020 due to heart failure and pulmonary edema while recovering from brain surgery at his home in Buenos Aires.
The medical personnel involved in his treatment are currently facing a homicide trial in an Argentine court.
