Maradona died of heart failure and pulmonary edema on November 25, 2020 at the age of 60 after undergoing brain surgery in a specially rented apartment in a fashionable area north of Buenos Aires.
The public prosecutor's office accuses his doctors and nurses of providing Maradona with inadequate care and thus accepting his death. If convicted, the seven defendants face between eight and 25 years in prison.
A first trial failed in May. The background to this is the scandal surrounding one of the judges involved so far, who had appeared without permission in a documentary series about the trial. Three new judges were then appointed in July.
