Agustina Cosachov, an accused psychiatrist, testified Thursday in the 14th hearing of the Diego Maradona death trial. She targeted health insurer Swiss Medical for failing to meet requirements for home hospitalization.
Cosachov told the Oral Criminal Court No. 7 in San Isidro that the best option for Maradona was a level-three rehabilitation center. She explained the patient wanted to return home after surgery on November 3, 2020, at Clínica Olivos.
The professional detailed requests for a clinical doctor, neurologist, ambulance, male nurses and a substance abuse specialist. She said a Swiss Medical auditor assured that everything was underway and that she signed an email dated November 11, 2020, sent to Medidom.
She showed later chats indicating non-compliance. She said the insurer offered home care instead of serious hospitalization. Another witness, Mariana Flichman, testified that everyone knew what they signed in the discharge document.
