The battle wages almost nightly on television in Argentina. On one side is Diego Maradona’s actress daughter, Dalma, alleging that a “mafia of assassins” caused the death of her father, the footballing icon. In retaliation, Maradona’s lawyer, Matias Morla, insists that Dalma and her sister, Giannina, neglected their father in his later years and are only interested in grasping what they can from his estate. As well as the feuding of an ex-wife, two former girlfriends and an indeterminate number of children (is it eight? ), there are the troubling circumstances of the Argentine icon’s death in November leading to allegations of negligence or malpractice that are being investigated.
