"Maradona died in November 2020 at the age of 60 while recovering from brain surgery at a private residence. He died of heart failure and acute pulmonary edema two weeks after undergoing surgery."
"Seven members of his medical team were charged with negligent homicide. The defendants have denied the charges of simple homicide with eventual intent in Maradona's treatment."
"The trial was annulled in May 2025 after it emerged that one of the judges overseeing the trial was involved in a documentary, breaching judicial rules."
"The defense maintains the larger-than-life Maradona, who battled cocaine and alcohol addictions, died of natural causes."
A new trial regarding Diego Maradona's death will begin, seeking to establish if his medical team was negligent. Maradona died in November 2020 from heart failure and acute pulmonary edema after brain surgery. Seven medical team members face charges of negligent homicide, with potential prison sentences of eight to 25 years. The previous trial collapsed due to judicial misconduct. The defense claims Maradona died of natural causes. The trial is expected to last until July and will hear from around 120 witnesses.
