Police carried out an overnight raid at a Buenos Aires health clinic to seize Diego Maradona’s complete medical records following a court order during the trial of seven healthcare professionals accused of negligence in the former football star’s death.

Pablo Dimitroff, the medical director at Los Olivos clinic, gave evidence that Maradona underwent pre-surgical studies, and the operation was performed by a neurosurgeon at that centre without complications.
