New process for Maradona's doctor: judge causes a stir!

New process for Maradona's doctor: judge causes a stir!

The criminal trial against the Diego Maradona medical team was re -rolled up on May 29, 2025 due to serious procedural errors. This happened after the judge Julieta Makintach, who was part of the three -member chamber, withdrew after allegations of bias. Their suspension for 90 days, which was previously decided, was the result of her cooperation in an unauthorized TV documentary about the process that circulated in local media. The process has thus been declared void, which prompted the remaining judges to rate the allegations against the accused again. The lawyers of the defense, the co -plaintiffs and the public prosecutor had previously questioned Makintach's impartiality, as not only reported krone.at, but also [Laola1.at] (https://www.laola1.at/de/Red/fussball/international/sonstiges/news/madona- process-neu-aufcht/).

The process, which has been taking place in San Isidro since March, north of Buenos Aires, accuses seven members of the Maradona medical team to have made massive mistakes in the home care of the 60-year-old world champion. The defendants include Maradona's lovers Leopoldo Luque and his psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov. In the event of a conviction, all accused threatens the accusation of homicide, which can be punished at up to 25 years in prison. So far, all accused have vehemently resisted the allegations.

faulty medical care

The discussion about Maradonas Care also raises basic questions regarding medical ethics and legal framework. Investigators have found considerable failures in the care of the former football star, especially in the period after his brain operation before his death on November 25, 2020. These incidents make it clear how important it is to observe ethical standards and legal requirements in medical practice. As notes [Kanzlei-wederhake.de] (https://www.kanzlei-wederhake.de/rund-ums-strafrecht/ Medizinische-forschung-und-strafrecht/), the principles of medical ethics, such as the non-damage principle and the preservation of human dignity, are fundamental to every medical decision and practice.

The continued public attention to the process of Maradona indicates the need to discuss both the legal framework and the ethical considerations in medical care. The developments in the process could not only influence the fate of the accused, but also relevant standards in medical care and possibly bring extensive consequences for medical practice.
