“Contradictions in the declaration”

“We have to determine whether they did the right thing or not. The nurse (on duty when Maradona died, editor’s note) made a statement to the prosecutor on the day Diego died, and then changed it , to finally go in front of the television and say that what she had indicated was forced on her, there is therefore a certain contradiction in her statement “, said a family member who requested anonymity.
