Eight healthcare professionals will stand trial over the death of football star Diego Maradona in 2020, an Argentine court has ruled.
The date of the proceedings has yet to be set but they are unlikely to begin before next year, the court said.
A medical board’s report previously given to prosecutors concluded that Maradona was in agony for more than 12 hours, did not receive adequate treatment and could still be alive if he had been properly admitted to hospital.
Three judges from an appeals court in San Isidro, outside Buenos Aires, confirmed the charges brought by prosecutors of homicide by negligence against the members of Maradona’s medical team.
Neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque and psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov are accused of failing in their care for Maradona.
Maradona’s medical team also included psychologist Carlos Diaz, doctors Nancy Forlini and Pedro Di Spagna, nursing co-ordinator Mariano Perroni and nurses Ricardo Almiron and Dahiana Madrid.
Maradona, who won the World Cup with Argentina in 1986, died of a heart attack on November 25 2020 at a rented residence outside Buenos Aires following brain surgery two weeks earlier.
He was 60.
Maradona’s post-mortem examination showed he died of natural causes.
