What Happened
A new trial begins Tuesday in Argentina regarding Diego Maradona's November 2020 death. Seven medical team members face negligent homicide charges. The first trial collapsed in May 2025 after a judge violated judicial rules by appearing in a documentary. Maradona died of heart failure and pulmonary edema following brain surgery. The medical team denies charges and maintains he died naturally. The trial is expected to conclude by July.
