They proved he had forged the signature in a request for pre-op records from a clinic in September, the prosecutor’s office in Argentina capital Buenos Aires said.

World Cup winner Maradona died at his home in November aged 60 following a heart attack after a brain op.

Luque, 39, has denied claims of wrongdoing from Maradona’s family, who suggest he was not properly cared for.
