• The lawyer of psychiatrist Agustin Kusachov, accused of the death of Diego Armando Maradona, demanded his acquittal and blamed Nancy Forlini.

According to Sport 3, the lawyer of psychiatrist Agustin Kusachov, who is accused of the death of Diego Armando Maradona, demanded that his client be acquitted. In his defense, he pointed to Nancy Forlini, responsible for coordinating Swiss Medical's home care, accusing her of interfering with the medical supervision of the patient during his home treatment, where his death actually occurred.

Prosecutors are seeking eight years in prison for the psychiatrist and a ten-year ban on professional activity on charges of manslaughter with premeditation. This charge presupposes that the defendant foresaw the possibility of death but continued his actions despite this. Mishanchuk's lawyer, representing Kusachov's interests, devoted a significant part of his speech to the role of Nancy Forlini. He claimed that this coordinator prohibited direct communication between doctors and nurses, which, in his opinion, made the situation worse.

To support his words, Mishanchuka presented audio recordings in court, in which Forlini emphasizes that she will be the only link for the psychiatrist and warns nurses that those who try to communicate directly with the attending physicians will be excluded from the team. The lawyer also noted that Kusachov never left the patient unattended and showed concern for his condition.

During the trial, the psychiatrist burst into tears in the dock. The defense lawyer also noted that it cannot be denied that Maradona had serious cardiovascular diseases, and he should have been under strict medical supervision, which was not provided. The lawyer pointed out that no one told him that Maradona had symptoms such as rapid heartbeat or high blood pressure, and that information about this was kept by Forlini.

Mishanchuk's lawyer emphasized that there is no evidence of intentional or even careless behavior on Kusachov's part: "None of the experts could say that Kusachov was careless or negligent." In response to prosecutors' allegations about the decision to continue Maradona's treatment at home instead of transferring him to a clinic after surgery to remove a blood clot in his head, he agreed that it would be best to transfer him to a rehabilitation center, but noted that this required the consent of the patient himself. He cited evidence that showed Maradona did not want to be in the clinic.

Despite the fact that Mishanchuk’s defense lasted until late in the evening, his words were warmly received in court; in particular, the legend’s daughters Janina and Dalma Maradona expressed gratitude for the lawyer’s humanity after the court hearing.Giannina Maradona wrote on her Instagram after the trial: "The big difference between doing one's duty as a human being and defending a client, without necessarily making derogatory judgments against a woman, daughter or person, is where it becomes apparent." She published this text in response to the actions of the lawyer Diego Olmedo, representing Carlos Diaz (the accused psychologist in the case), who also insisted on acquitting his client during the hearing on Thursday.

What happens next

The trial is expected to continue, with Kusachov's defense team presenting additional evidence in his defense. It is important to monitor how the case develops, especially given the emotional state of the accused, who has already expressed his feelings in the dock. The results of this process could influence the future of medical practice in Argentina and beyond.
