Maradona Death Retrial Set for March 17, 2026

A newly appointed three-judge panel is restarting the case following a documentary scandal.

Overview

  • The Oral Criminal Court No. 7 in San Isidro set the new oral and public trial to begin on March 17, 2026.
  • A preliminary hearing on November 12 at 10:30 will define probative agreements and the final witness list.
  • Judges Alberto Gaig, Alberto Ortolani and Pablo Rolón rejected a jury-trial bid for Leopoldo Luque and a non bis in idem plea for Agustina Cosachov.
  • The jury trial for nurse Dahiana Gisela Madrid will proceed separately before Court No. 3 after the main debate, unaffected by prior nullities.
  • The defendants face the alleged charge of simple homicide with dolo eventual, punishable by 8 to 25 years, after the first 2025 trial was annulled over the 'Justicia Divina' documentary, with Judge Julieta Makintach now facing impeachment proceedings.
