Maradona death trial on shaky ground: judge’s link to documentary may annul proceedings

The controversial revelation shakes the process: seven health professionals accused of negligence in post-surgery care

The twist that could derail everything

The trial on the death of Diego Maradona may be annulled due to a shocking revelation. One of the judges is accused of secretly collaborating on a documentary about the case, a move that may compromise the validity of all hearings held so far.

A one-week break that reveals deeper issues

The trial resumes Tuesday in San Isidro, north of Buenos Aires, after a 7-day pause. Defense lawyers are now pushing to invalidate the entire process.

Who is on trial?

Seven healthcare professionals are charged with negligent care of Maradona after his brain surgery. They include:

  • doctors,
  • a psychiatrist,
  • a psychologist,
  • nurses.

They’re accused of gross medical negligence in the post-operative phase.

The judge under fire

The judge allegedly shared confidential information and participated in the narrative of a documentary, raising serious concerns over impartiality.

What happens next?

If the court agrees to the annulment request, the entire trial must restart from scratch, delaying justice for Maradona and his family.
