My Father was killed –Maradona’s Son

Image
Argentine football legend, Diego Maradona’s son, Diego Armando Maradona Junior, says he’s convinced his father did not die a natural death.   Diego Maradona passed away in November 2020 as a result of heart failure and pulmonary edema according to medical reports provided to his family.  Before his death, Maradona was recuperating from brain surgery at his home in Buenos Aires, Argentina.  But his son Maradona Junior says he knows the person responsible for the death of his father and will continue to fight for justice until the last day of his life. “There is an open investigation. We – his children – have a lot of faith in Argentine justice. I’m convinced that this should not have ended like this,” he told Mediaset. “They killed my father. It is not my job to say who did it, I have my own idea but I can’t say it. They left him to his fate when something could have been done. I made a promise: until the last day of my life, I’ll fight for justice.”

New Zealand MP resigns following shoplifting allegations

  A New Zealand MP has resigned following multiple allegations of shoplifting.    Golriz Ghahraman, of the Green Party, is alleged to have stolen three times from two clothing stores - one in Auckland and the other in Wellington.   The former UN human rights lawyer made history in 2017 as the first refugee in the country's government. She said work-related stress made her behave completely out of character.   "I have let down a lot of people and I am very sorry," she added.   Ms Ghahraman fled Iran as a child with her family, who were all granted political asylum in New Zealand.   She resigned on Tuesday, Jan. 16, after CCTV footage emerged showing her allegedly taking a designer handbag from an Auckland boutique.   The 42-year-old, who has not been charged with any crime, said in a statement her actions had "fallen short" of the high standards of behaviour the public expected from elected representatives.   "It's not a behaviour I can...

Football legend, Iker Casillas makes a dig at Lionel Messi winning FIFA's The Best award, says organisers are 'not doing things fairly'.

Legendary goalkeeper, Iker Casillas has taken a swipe at his former LaLiga rival Lionel Messi after the Argentine won FIFA's The Best award, claiming organisers were 'not doing things fairly'.      Messi, who won the Ballon d'Or for the eighth time at the end of last year, claimed the new price after beating Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe to the award last night.      Many believe that Erling Haaland - who finished level on points with Messi before losing out on a technicality or PSG star Kylian Mbappe should have been named winner ahead of Messi, who has spent the last six months playing in the MLS with Inter Miami.     Haaland, who scored 48 points but earned fewer captain votes than Messi, had staked a solid claim to take home the prize after scoring 52 goals in 53 games last season, an incredible record in front of goal that helped Man City to the treble of the Pr...

Female school teacher, 38, is banned from the profession for life for having sex with a 15-year-old boy

Image
A female teacher jailed for having sex with a pupil has been banned from the classroom for life by watchdogs who ruled the public 'would rightly be appalled' by her behavior.   Convicted paedophile, Kandice Barber, now 38, was jailed for six years and two months in 2021 after being convicted of grooming a 15-year-old and having sex with him in a field. Teaching watchdogs have now revealed that she shamelessly texted the teenager during the fling: 'You cannot make me blush while I am teaching now, poker face lol.' Reacting to the ban, Barber protested her innocence and sent the misconduct panel a note, saying: 'Despite the convictions I have always proclaimed my innocence [sic].' The trial judge blasted the mum of three as 'beyond despicable' for seducing the boy with topless photos and explicit messages while teaching him at Princes Risborough School, Buckinghamshire. She flirted with the teen sending messages during a school assembly.   The...
