An Argentine court recently declared a mistrial in the homicide case against the medical team of Diego Maradona, triggered by Judge Julieta Makintach's conflict of interest after participating in a television documentary about the case. Prosecutors argued this situation prejudiced the trial. The case against Maradona's medical team, which began in March, involves accusations of gross negligence in his care leading to his heart attack and death in November 2020, shocking the nation. A new trial is expected with different judges, though no date has been set.
"Judge Maximiliano Savarino stated that Judge Julieta Makintach's involvement in a documentary regarding the case had 'caused prejudice' to the trial proceedings."
"This mistrial ruling comes as a significant setback for the seven-member medical team accused of gross negligence in the care of Diego Maradona."
