Request of the daughters

The body of Diego Maradona goes to a mausoleum

The body of Argentinian soccer legend Diego Maradona will be placed in a specially erected mausoleum. According to a report in the newspaper "La Nación", a court granted the request of his daughters Dalma and Gianinna Maradona to move the body from the Jardín Bella Vista cemetery on the outskirts of the Argentine capital to the Memorial de Diez mausoleum in the elegant Puerto Madero harbor district of Buenos Aires.

Maradona died of a heart attack on November 25, 2020 in a private residence north of Buenos Aires at the age of 60. A few weeks earlier, he had undergone brain surgery. According to the investigators, massive mistakes had been made in the home care of the 1986 world champion, who was in serious health problems.
