Over four years after the death of football legend Diego Maradona, the seven healthcare professionals who treated him in his final moments are facing trial in an Argentine court. Maradona had died on November 25, 2020 due to cardiac arrest. The healthcare professionals are being prosecuted in court for negligence that led to his death at his house outside Buenos Aires. The Associated Press reported that three judges will decide whether the seven people charged in the case — including a neurosurgeon, a psychiatrist and several medical staffers — are guilty of manslaughter. The seven on trial are facing a maximum jail time of 25 years if they’re sentenced. The Argentine legend’s family attended the court proceedings with Maradona’s daughters, Dalma, Giannina and Jana being accompanied by Verónica Ojeda, who was former partner of the footballer.

Seven medical staff who treated Argentine football legend Diego Maradona in the days before his death went on trial Tuesday accused of homicide. Maradona died on November 25, 2020, aged 60, while recovering at home from brain surgery for a blood clot, after decades battling cocaine and alcohol addictions. The defendants risk prison terms between eight and 25 years if convicted on the charge of “homicide with possible intent” — allegedly for pursuing a course of action despite knowing it could lead to the former footballer’s death. Outside the court, dozens of fans of the footballer gathered Tuesday, waving banners calling for “justice” and singing songs in honor of the fallen star. “Thank you all for coming,” Veronica Ojeda, Maradona’s former partner and mother of one of his sons, 12-year-old Dieguito, told the crowd as she fought back tears. Maradona’s older daughters, Dalma and Gianinna, entered the building without saying anything to the press or supporters. In an opening statement Tuesday, the prosecution said it intends to submit “solid” evidence that no member …
