Maradona Death Trial Resumes

The trial was delayed by a year following a scandal involving a judge that caused the initial legal case to collapse.

Prosecutors allege that Maradona was left in a state of 'abandonment' for 12 hours before his death and that his medical team could have saved his life.

If convicted, the defendants could face up to 25 years in prison.

The proceedings have reignited national grief and a search for accountability in the death of one of the world's greatest athletes.
