Reasons Maradona Doctor Is Under Police Investigation

Police in Argentina are currently probing
Diego Maradona doctor over medical negligence and possible culpable homicide.

Police raided the home of the personal physician Leopoldo Luque on Sunday and investigators are looking into all the medical staff involved with his care.

Maradona doctor is being investigated by police about his actions during the final days of the deceased star.

Luque was at his home while the search on the outskirts of Buenos Aires took place, while Argentinian TV stations have been broadcasting live images of police entering Maradona doctor clinic.

The searches were ordered after Maradona’s daughters Dalma and Giannina gave statements and questioned whether the medication their father was receiving was appropriate.

Argentinian media are reporting Luque could be questioned as an ‘imputado’, someone who is under official investigation on suspicion of possible mala praxis or negligence.
