Maradona Death Trial Resumes

The defendants, including Maradona's neurosurgeon and psychiatrist, are accused of 'eventual intent' homicide, carrying a potential sentence of up to 25 years in prison.

Prosecutors allege that the medical care provided to the star after his brain surgery was deficient and reckless, directly contributing to his fatal heart failure in 2020.

The trial is expected to feature testimony from over 200 witnesses and has drawn intense international media attention.

Maradona's family has long demanded justice, maintaining that his death was a preventable tragedy caused by professional negligence.
