Seven healthcare professionals accused of negligence in the death of football legend Diego Armando Maradona will face a new trial in March after the previous trial was declared invalid.
The court in San Isidro declared the previous trial invalid after one of the three judges, Julieta Makintash, resigned due to criticism related to her participation in a documentary about the case.
Makintash will face a separate trial in La Plata, where she is accused of inappropriate conduct in office — a violation that could lead to her dismissal.
The case against Maradona's medical team relates to the failure to provide proper medical care in the weeks before his death, in November 2020, at a home near Buenos Aires.
The famous Argentine footballer died at the age of 60 from a heart attack while recovering from surgery for a blood clot in his brain.
The defendants — among them Leopoldo Luke's personal physician, psychologist, psychiatrist, medical coordinators and nurses — deny all charges of intentional homicide, an offense punishable by up to 25 years in prison.
The prosecution alleges they were aware of the danger posed by Maradona's condition and ignored it. Maradona, who led Argentina to the 1986 World Cup title, remains an icon of world football.
Beloved in Naples and around the world for his extraordinary talent, he also struggled for years with drug addiction, alcohol and health problems.
