Employee fired for taking photo with Maradona’s body says: “They’re threatening...

In the photo, beside him was also the son, Claudio Ismael. In addition to the two, a man identified as Diego Molina participated in the series of records. The picture shows the open casket with the employees posing for the photo.

– I’ve worked with a funeral home for years. I am not a person who thinks about taking pictures with the deceased out of respect. What can I say? We were accommodating the body and, to take it, they called my son, “skinny”. Like every child, he raised his thumb and took the photo – said Férnandez.

Férnandez said the photo was not taken with his cell phone. So you don’t even know how it was shared.

– I received threats. I’m from the neighborhood, they know me. They’re saying they’re going to kill me, they’re going to break my car, threaten my kids, and I’m not that kind of person. This picture was not taken from my cell phone, they were taken from another one, this is the worst of all. I never thought they were going to put it on the internet or that they were going to put it in a group and go viral. I apologize to the Maradona family – completed the official.

Maradona’s lawyer, Matías Morla, commented on what happened on social media, repudiating the act. “For the memory of my friend, I will not rest while I am paid for this aberration,” he wrote.
