  • BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) -The homicide trial of Diego Maradona's medical team was declared invalid, Argentine media reported on Thursday. The 2020 death of the soccer star who led the Argentine team to World Cup victory shook the nation and seven members of his medical team were charged with negligent homicide in a trial that began on March 11. The Thursday decision came after one of three judges in the case, Judge Julieta Makintach, resigned on Tuesday in the face of allegations of an ethical breach.

The trial investigating the death of soccer legend Diego Maradona has been declared a homicide by an Argentine court, following allegations of medical negligence. Maradona passed away on November 25, 2020, due to a heart attack, and subsequent investigations pointed to potential malpractice by his medical team. Eight healthcare professionals, including neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque and psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov, are now facing charges that could lead to imprisonment for up to 25 years if convicted. The trial, which began in June 2023, is set to continue until at least December 2023, with the accused denying any wrongdoing and asserting they provided proper care to Maradona.
