Maradona’s lawyer, Matias Moria, on Thursday, November 26, said he would ask for a full investigation of the circumstances that led to the soccer legend’s death, saying ambulances took over 30 minutes to arrive.

“The ambulance took more than half an hour to arrive, which was a criminal idiocy,” Matias said on Thursday in a Twitter post.

“Yesterday (Saturday) the investigation and substantiation of evidence continued with the taking of statements from people including direct relatives of the deceased,” it said.
