New Trial Over Diego Maradona’s Death Begins in Argentina

A new trial regarding the death of Diego Maradona has begun in Argentina, involving seven members of his medical team charged with negligent homicide. Maradona, who died at the age of 60 in November 2020, suffered heart failure after undergoing brain surgery. The previous trial was annulled in May 2025 due to a judicial scandal, leading to the impeachment of a judge. The retrial is expected to hear from up to 120 witnesses and review forensic evidence.
