The court battle over the death of Argentine soccer hero Diego Maradona has resumed after many twists and turns. It has been about a year since the first trial was crippled by the judge's controversy over fairness.

British media 'BBC' said on the 15th (Korea time) that "the retrial of the Maradona death case began at San Isidro Court in Argentina," adding, "The trial was suspended in May last year after Judge Giulietta Makintach, who was hearing the case, allowed the documentary production team to shoot without permission in court. The newly formed court will proceed," he reported.

At the time, Judge Makintach approved documentary production of the trial process and allowed cameras to be brought into the courtroom. In response, the lawyers of the seven medical staff involved in Maradona's death strongly protested, saying, "The judge may have influenced or taken bribes by engaging in documentary production." Eventually, Judge Makintach resigned, and the first trial was canceled amid questionable controversy.

The defendants in the retrial are seven medical staff, including Leopoldo Luque, Maradona's personal physician, and psychiatrist Agustina Kosachev. According to the 'BBC', they are currently charged with manslaughter and are completely denying the charges in court. If convicted, they could face up to eight to 25 years in prison.

Maradona died of a heart attack in November 2020 at the age of 60 while recovering from a brain thrombus removal surgery at her home in Tigre, Buenos Aires. Autopsy confirmed that heart failure resulted in acute pulmonary edema, which accumulated fluid in the lungs.

However, investigators classified the case as a crime similar to involuntary manslaughter. Although the defendants were fully aware that Maradona's health was very serious at the time, there was no minimum measure to save him.

In fact, it is suspected of murder. The medical expert committee, which investigated the case at the request of the prosecution, also claimed that Maradona was "insufficient and reckless" with the treatment she received at home. In particular, the committee pointed out that "Maradona would have had a much higher chance of survival if she had received proper treatment at an appropriate medical facility."

About 100 witnesses, including Maradona's daughters, will attend the resumed trial. According to local reports, the hearing is expected to continue until July.
