Argentine prosecutors have called for punishment of the person responsible for the 2020 death of world-renowned soccer star Diego Maradona as a "murder case."

On the 11th (local time), the first trial of the murder of seven medical staff who were in charge of Maradona treatment five years ago was held at San Isidro 3 Criminal Court in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

On this day, prosecutors released a photo of Maradona lying in bed shortly before his death on Nov. 25, 2020. In this photo, a tube is hanging from Maradona's mouth, and his stomach is abnormally swollen. "We are seeing a scene of a crime with Maradona as the victim," the prosecution said. "The defendants are the co-conspirators who directed the theater of horror at Maradona's house."

Maradona died of heart failure and acute pulmonary edema while recovering at home from brain surgery in November 2020. After a year-long investigation, Argentine prosecutors determined that the medical staff treating Maradona at home failed to take proper action.

The defendant, including Leopoldo Luque (a neurologist), who was Maradona's doctor, argued that the murder was not intentional, saying, "The treatment method and form were all conducted in consultation with his family." 카지노

A total of eight people have been charged in the case, and the maximum sentence is 25 years if the defendants are found guilty. Locally, the hearing process is expected to continue for the next four to five months.
