Seven paramedics face charges of intentional homicide. If proven guilty, they face up to 25 years in prison. The case is further resolved by the medical board. The San Isidro Public Prosecutor’s Office in Buenos Aires, which is investigating the case, has suggested to the court that the accused should not be allowed to leave Argentina.
Among the accused are Maradon’s personal physician, neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque, who underwent brain surgery two weeks before his death, psychiatrist Agustina Cosach, two nurses, a nurse coordinator, another doctor and one of the psychologists.
The medical council had previously revealed that the medical team that had treated Maradona before her death acted “in an inappropriate, inadequate, and ruthless manner and left him to his fate.” If he received appropriate care, he said he would have a better chance of survival.

“Aspects that warned of the dangers of death have been ignored,” she said in a report by 20 experts examining the circumstances of Maradon’s death at the request of the Ministry of Justice. Hundreds of protesting fans also demanded an investigation into the causes.
Maradona, who suffered from kidney, liver and heart problems, died of a heart attack three weeks after undergoing surgery for a brain hemorrhage. He died in his sleep on November 25, 2020 of acute pulmonary edema and subsequent cardiac arrest. The autopsy did not show the presence of alcohol or drugs in the body.
