Diego Maradona's death: Prosecutors seek up to 16 years in prison for his former doctors

The trial into Diego Maradona’s death is nearing its conclusion at the San Isidro court near Buenos Aires. Prosecutors are seeking 12 years in prison for neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque, 10 years for Nancy Forlini and 8 years for psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov; the family’s lawyers have requested sentences of up to 16 years. The accusation says the medical team neglected signs that Maradona’s health was deteriorating after brain surgery and that their decisions contributed to his death on November 25, 2020. Defense arguments are scheduled for October 20–22, before the judges deliberate.
