Four years after the death of Argentinian football legend Diego Maradona, 7 healthcare professionals will go on trial accused of negligence during his final days.
More than 100 witnesses, including members of Maradona’s family and doctors who tended to him over the years, will take the stand over the course of the four-month trial, which starts on Tuesday in the Buenos Aires suburb of San Isidro.
The seven defendants risk between eight and 25 years in jail if convicted.
Diego Armando Maradona died on November 25, 2020 at the age of 60 while recovering from brain surgery for a blood clot, after decades of battling cocaine and alcohol addictions. (Aljazeera)
