The Footballing world sadly lost Diego Maradona in November 2020. The Argentine football legend passed away of a reported heart attack at his home. However, investigations have been underway since then and a few medical personnel are reportedly set to undergo a trial.

As per reports, following Maradona's death, prosecutors are pushing for eight medical professionals to be found guilty of negligent homicide, an Argentine court ruling made public on Wednesday has shown.

As per the Sun, The footballer's doctor Leopoldo Luque, his psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov, his psychologist Carlos Diaz, and his medical coordinator Nancy Forlini are among eight health professionals told they are now under formal investigation on suspicion of a type of homicide. The trial is set to begin in late 2023 and the people involved could face a sentence of up to 25 years if found guilty.

The Judge ordered a culpable homicide trial after a medical panel found Maradona's treatment was rife with "deficiencies and irregularities". It also concluded that the footballer "would have had a better chance of survival" with adequate treatment in an appropriate medical facility, according to the court ruling.
