My father was killed, says Maradona’s son

Argentine legend, Diego Maradona’s son, Diego Armando Maradona Junior, has claimed that his father was killed.

Armando further claimed that he knows who the culprit is, adding that he would fight for justice for his father’s death.

In a video that has gone viral on Tuesday, Armando told Mediaset, an Italian mass media company that, “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.

“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 as a result of heart failure and pulmonary edema.

During the time, Maradona was recuperating from brain surgery at his home in Buenos Aires.

Doctors, nurses and other medical staff involved in the treatment of the late football icon are currently facing a homicide trial in an Argentine court.
