A trial involving eight health workers accused of 'homicide by negligence' in connection with the death of football legend Diego Maradona has been postponed until March, following a court ruling on Thursday. The trial, which was initially set to commence on June 4 and then rescheduled for October 1, will now begin on March 11 as per the decision made by a court in San Isidro, a town near Buenos Aires.
Diego Maradona, who famously led Argentina to victory in the 1986 World Cup, passed away at the age of 60 in November 2020 due to heart failure following a surgical procedure on his brain. The individuals facing charges in relation to Maradona's death include his neurosurgeon, psychologist, psychiatrist, and nurses. If found guilty, they could potentially receive prison sentences ranging from eight to 25 years.
