Maradona death retrial begins
The Argentine justice system is once again examining the circumstances surrounding Diego Maradona's final days in November 2020.
Prosecutors allege that the medical team provided 'reckless' and 'deficient' care to the star during his recovery from brain surgery.
The defendants, including Maradona's personal doctor and psychiatrist, could face up to 25 years in prison if convicted.
This second attempt at a trial follows a significant legal scandal that saw the first proceedings declared invalid after a judge allowed cameras into the courtroom.
