Maradona Death Retrial Begins

The defendants, including Maradona's personal doctor and psychiatrist, are charged with 'simple homicide with eventual intent,' which carries a sentence of up to 25 years in prison.

An expert medical panel previously concluded that the athlete was abandoned to his fate and received inadequate care in the weeks before his death in 2020.

The trial is expected to last several months and will feature testimony from Maradona's family and former associates.

The case has gripped Argentina, where the late star remains a revered cultural figure.
