Maradona Death Trial Resumes

Maradona died in November 2020 at the age of 60 while recovering from brain surgery, and a previous trial collapsed last year following a judicial scandal.

Prosecutors argue that the medical care provided to the star was 'deficient and reckless,' leading to a preventable death.

The trial is expected to last several months and will feature testimony from numerous medical experts and family members.

The case has deeply divided Argentina, where Maradona remains a revered national icon, and the proceedings are being closely followed by sports fans worldwide.
