An Argentine court started on its trial of seven healthcare professionals accused of negligence in the death of football great Diego Maradona<\/a>, at age 60.<\/p>\n

Maradona was under the care of those professionals when he had a cardiac arrest in a house outside Buenos Aires on November 25, 2020.<\/p>\n

Three judges will decide whether those charged, including a neurosurgeon, a psychiatrist and several medical staffers, are guilty of manslaughter. The maximum jail time for those sentenced is 25 years.<\/p>\n

The tearful family of the 1986 World Cup winner were present at the courtroom.<\/p>\n

Maradona\u2019s oldest daughters, Dalma and Giannina, sat in the front row near Ver\u00f3nica Ojeda, former partner of the footballer, and Jana, another of his daughters.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Minutes before the start of the trial, Ojeda shared a video on social media of Maradona's son Diego Fernando wearing a T-shirt with the face of the football star, and the word \u201cjustice.\u201d<\/p>\n

The spotlight is on neurosurgeon Leonardo Luque, Maradona's personal physician for the last four years of his life.<\/p>\n

He performed surgery to remove a blood clot from the former footballer's brain just weeks before his death.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Six other professionals will be on trial.<\/p>\n

Psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov, who prescribed the medication that Maradona took until the time of his death, psychologist Carlos D\u00edaz, Nancy Forlini, a coordinator of the medical company hired for Maradona's care during his hospitalisation, Mariano Perroni, a representative of the company that rendered nursing service, doctor Pedro Di Spagna, who monitored his treatment, and nurse Ricardo Almir\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Nurse Gisela Madrid, who was also indicted, will be tried by a jury later this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
