Diego Maradona lived a bohemian life and, in addition to drugs and alcohol, also enjoyed sex. In addition to the two married children, he confessed paternity to three others before his death, and several other women claimed that the father of their children was the legendary footballer.
In addition to the five officially confirmed children, another son could now be added. Nineteen-year-old Argentinian Santiago Lara claims to be Maradon’s descendant and wants to get his body exhumed and a DNA test with his lawyer.
“I just want to know who I am. I’m not interested in the financial side of things. I know this request will cause a huge stir in Argentina, but if I don’t, who will give me the DNA?” defended his interests on Telemundo television.
Lara learned about her possible father at the age of thirteen. His mother told lawyers when she died of lung cancer at the age of 23. Santiago was three years old at the time.
Ten years after his mother’s death, Santiago Lara saw a photo of Diego Maradona and himself in a magazine. He immediately called his father (who raised him) and asked for answers.
Marcelo Lara told him everything, and little Santiago began to find the truth. Maradon’s lawyers then called for private DNA tests, but they never took place. Lara tried to find out the truth during the life of the football legend, but it didn’t work out, so he wants to get to the coveted DNA tests after Maradon’s death.
Lar’s lawyer Jose Nunez asked the court for an exhumation and a DNA test the day after the football legend’s funeral. If the court passes, Maradon’s body will not rest even after his death, and his extended family may grow to include another offspring.
