The Legal Battle Over a Football Legend’s Death Begins
Argentina’s long-awaited trial into Diego Maradona’s 2020 death kicked off this week, as eight medical professionals face charges of negligent homicide. The case has reignited raw emotions in a country where the World Cup icon remains a deity-like figure. ⚡
🩺 The Accused Take Center Stage
At the San Isidro court near Buenos Aires, Maradona’s ex-wife, children, and fans gathered to demand accountability. Prosecutors called his post-surgery care 'calamitous' and cited a 'theater of horror' environment in his recovery home. Nurses, surgeons, and psychiatrists now defend their actions, arguing his heart failure was 'unforeseeable.'

Outside court, fans held signs reading 'Justice for D10S'—a nod to Maradona’s jersey number and divine nickname. Murals of the footballer still blanket Argentina, where debates rage over whether medical neglect cut short a legend’s life. Prosecutors claim protocols were ignored; defense lawyers insist there’s 'no criminal responsibility.'
What’s Next?
The trial could last months, with sentences of 8–25 years if convicted. As one of sports’ most dramatic legal sagas unfolds, stay tuned for updates. 🎯
