The case surrounding the death of legendary footballer Diego Maradona is back in court after a scandal involving the presiding judge of the original trial. Maradona passed away on November 25, 2020, due to cardiac arrest at his home in Dique Luján, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. An autopsy revealed significant damage to his kidneys and liver, and his heart was found to be almost twice its normal weight. Seven members of his medical team, including doctors and psychologists, have been indicted for homicide with possible intent, accused of negligence in Maradona's care. The initial trial was halted in May 2025 when it was discovered that Judge Julieta Makintach had participated in a documentary about the case, leading to her impeachment. The new trial is expected to last until July and will hear from approximately 120 witnesses to determine the medical team's responsibility for Maradona's death. The defense argues that Maradona's death was due to natural causes, citing his struggles with addiction. The outcome of this trial could lead to prison sentences ranging from 8 to 25 years for the accused.
