Seven medical professionals have been charged with homicide relating to the death of Argentine great Diego Maradona<\/a>, according to ESPN.<\/p>\n

Argentinian prosecutors have charged neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque and psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov<\/a>, along with five others.<\/p>\n

The report states the prosecutors' office in Argentina requested that the seven indicted not be allowed to leave the country.<\/p>\n

The charge of "simple homicide with eventual intent" carries a prison sentence of 25 years. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A medical board was appointed by the prosecutor's office to determine if there was evidence of culpable homicide relating to the icon's death. <\/p>\n

Per ESPN, the board revealed in a report that the medical team who tended to Maradona prior to the star's death acted in an "inappropriate, deficient and reckless manner" and left him "to his own devices."<\/p>\n

Members of Maradona's family have demanded justice and hundreds of fans recently called out at a protest <\/a>that "Maradona didn't die, he was killed."<\/p>\n

Maradona, 60, died last November of a heart attack two weeks after he underwent surgery to remove a blood clot on his brain. <\/p>\n

He was released from the hospital eight days after the surgery and began to rehab in his home before his death.<\/p>\n

The Argentine great is one of the most decorated stars in football history. <\/p>\n

Maradona scored 259 career goals in nearly two decades of club competition, winning nine club titles. <\/p>\n

Arguably his best known for his performance was in the 1986 World Cup when he helped Argentina defeat West Germany in the final with the infamous "Hand of God" goal.<\/p>\n
