Overview

• The trial, beginning Tuesday in Buenos Aires, involves seven medical professionals charged with culpable homicide in connection to Maradona's death.
• Prosecutors argue that negligence during Maradona's home recovery after brain surgery contributed to his fatal heart attack at age 60.
• A 2021 medical panel report described Maradona's care as 'inappropriate, deficient, and reckless,' citing insufficient monitoring and lack of critical medical equipment.
• The defendants, including Maradona's neurologist and psychiatrist, deny wrongdoing, claiming the death was sudden and unavoidable.
• The trial is expected to last until July, with over 100 witnesses and extensive evidence, including private communications among the medical team.
