‘I just came here because I wanted to know where this place (public mausoleum) was or where it was going to be. And well, I found out that it’s back there and I think it’s great. So the day it opens its doors I’d like to come and visit and see him. I believe the judge made a correct decision, justice has been done, and I am happy with it."

"I do not have a fully-formed opinion on this matter (Maradona’s remains being moved to a public mausoleum). But what I care the most is that the family is happy with this decision. If his daughters pushed for this to happen, I’m happy with it. Whatever the family decides in order for Mr. Diego Armando Maradona to rest in peace, I’m happy with."

STORYLINE:
A court has authorized the removal of the remains of soccer legend Diego Maradona from a private cemetery so they can be placed at a public mausoleum that is under construction in Buenos Aires.
The court in San Isidro, outside the Argentinian capital, issued the ruling Tuesday at the request of Maradona’s children. The 1986 World Cup winner died in 2020 at age 60.
“We always knew that his place was with people, but we also understood that all the security guarantees were a priority,” Dalma Maradona, one of the daughters of the Argentine great, said on her social media channels. “What we want is for those who love him to be able to go and show him their love, leave him some daisies.”
Maradona’s body was buried at the Jardín de Bella Vista cemetery, about 50 kilometers (31 miles) northwest of Buenos Aires.
The court granted the rights of removal to Maradona’s five children due to “humanitarian and emotional reasons.” It also added that his family should decide when to make the change.
The mausoleum project is named “M10 Memorial” and was inaugurated in 2023 in a ceremony attended by most of Maradona’s children.
Eight people, including doctors and nurses, are set to stand trial for their alleged culpability in Maradona’s death due to a cardiorespiratory arrest.
