Process for Maradona's death: Doctors have to answer for manslaughter!

In Argentina, the sensational process of the death of the football legend Diego Maradona began today, who died on November 25, 2020 at the age of 60 as a result of a heart attack. Seven members of his private medical team are accused, including his loyalty Leopoldo Luque and his psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov.

In front of the courthouse, numerous fans of Maradona gathered who demand justice for their idol.

The indictment is based on the assumption that the doctors and nurses did not adequately monitor Maradona. Statements of lawyers clarify that a nurse did not look like their patient for twelve hours - a serious breach of duty.

The circumstances that led to his death could receive clarifying answers in court proceedings, since a total of 192 witnesses were invited.

Maradona, who was heavily struck because of his addiction problems and mental illnesses in the last few years of his life, remains unforgettable in the hearts of many Argentine. Despite the accused responsible persons, the football hero is immortal - even if his death was no surprise for some.
