Cops question Maradona after altercation at hotel
Print Edition
POLICE were called to investigate an altercation involving Diego Maradona and a woman at a hotel in Madrid, authorities said yesterday.
Officers were dispatched after a call from the hotel, but found no evidence of any serious disturbance after talking to Maradona and the woman. They said neither Maradona nor the woman showed signs of having been involved in a confrontation, and neither wanted to make a formal complaint.
Authorities said they couldn’t confirm if the woman was a hotel guest or Maradona’s girlfriend, Rocio Oliva. They also did not say if the call came from one of the guests or from hotel employees. Spanish media said police was called in after a “strong argument” involving guests at the hotel.
It wasn’t clear if police talked to Maradona at his room or somewhere else in the hotel.
The 56-year-old Maradona is in the Spanish capital with his girlfriend to watch former club Napoli play Real Madrid in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League yesterday. He is a guest of Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis. Napoli’s players are staying at the same hotel.
Spanish media on Tuesday released a video of Maradona threatening a reporter who tried to talk to him at the hotel. After the reporter said that he was struck by the former player as he passed by, Maradona came back and said: “I didn’t hit you, if I hit you, you will lose your nose.”
