The authorities had to stop the procession due to COVID-19 and rowdiness. Maradona was eventually buried by some familiy members on Thursday.
“They know me”, Claudio said. “I’m from the neighborhood. They say they are going to kill us, break our heads.”
As if taking the picture was not enough, they then decided to spread it online, which went viral instantly.
Initially, one of them was identified and fired from his position, but the three have now lost their job. This was confirmed by the funeral company, Piniuer Funrsl home, after confirming their identitites.
Taking selfies with Maradona’s coffin will have a legal consequence
The gesture will also have legal consequences. This is the position of Maradona’s lawyer Morla, who raged on social media.
“They are guilty of an outrageous and aberrant act,” he wrote. “They will pay dearly,” he wrote.
