Trial Resumes for Health Professionals Accused in Diego Maradona's Death
In Buenos Aires, Argentina, the trial of seven healthcare professionals accused of negligence in the death of soccer legend Diego Maradona has resumed. The case, which had previously collapsed due to a judge's involvement in a documentary, centers on allegations of culpable homicide. The defendants, including Maradona's personal doctor and psychiatrist, are accused of failing to provide adequate care, leading to Maradona's death from cardiac arrest in 2020. Prosecutors argue that the medical team was aware of the risks and failed to act, while defense attorneys claim Maradona's death was due to his deteriorating health. The trial is expected to include testimony from nearly 100 witnesses, with a verdict anticipated in early June.
