The public prosecutor’s office has filed charges against the medical team of the late Argentina football legend, Diego Maradona about 18 months after his death.
Maradona was allegedly wrongly treated, leading to eight defendants charged with manslaughter an offence liable to 25 years in prison if convicted.
Those charged include Maradona’s personal doctor, Leopoldo Luque, his psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov as well as a psychologist, another doctor, the medical coordinator of the health insurance and three nurses.
All the accused have since denied any wrong-doing.
Maradona died aged 60 in a private residence north of Buenos Aires on November 25 in 2020, a few weeks after undergoing brain surgery.
According to the investigators, massive mistakes were made in the home care of the former World Cup winner, who was in poor health.
