This week the testimony of the Cuban Mavys Álvarez was made public, who assured that she had a love relationship with Diego Armando Mardona as a minor, when the Argentine star was interned in Cuba. Guillermo Coppola, a popular ex-representative and friend of ‘Pelusa’, spoke about it.

“I am ashamed to have lived this”Said the woman in an interview for América Tevé (channel 41 in Miami), 20 years after what happened; where he also said that Maradona caused him to become addicted to cocaine.

“I did not know it was an ordeal“Coppola said this Thursday on the Intruders of America program. “I would not have imagined a life like this for her, so hard. In any case, respecting what she lived and feeling and sharing that pain that she transmits, and that honestly, I did not see it, I did not perceive it”He declared.

The worst thing was not being able to help, said the businessman. “I’m deeply sorry about this girl, but not to look good, but because I didn’t see it and I could have done something else but I didn’t. It does not make me angry, quite the opposite”He added. “Today listening to this girl I can say ‘how could I not do something else?’“, lament.

“The feeling of friendship does not change me, we all make mistakes. It’s bad? If it is real, it is very serious. But that I would like to know, why didn’t she give me a steak to wake me up, those things”, He sentenced.
