Argentine media reported that eight healthcare workers will go on trial after being accused of causing the death of Diego Maradona with the crime of “negligent homicide”.

Television station TN reported that a court in San Isidro, a city on the outskirts of the capital, Buenos Aires, rejected the defense’s appeals on a lesser charge and upheld an indictment issued a year ago by prosecutors for “negligence and ineffectiveness” in the treatment of the former Boca Juniors and Napoli player,
The reports added that the trial is unlikely to start until next year, and the defendants may face prison sentences ranging from eight to 25 years..
