A prosecutor in Argentina has told a retrial over the death of football legend Diego Maradona that his medical team were a "bunch of amateurs" who failed to act in time to save him. Patricio Ferrari told the court in San Isidro (a suburb north of Buenos Aires) that "Diego Maradona began to die 12 hours before his actual death," arguing that transferring him to a clinic during his final week would have been enough to prevent his November 2020 death from heart failure and acute pulmonary edema. Seven healthcare professionals — including doctors, psychologists and nurses — face prison terms of eight to 25 years if convicted of gross negligence after allowing Maradona to convalesce at home following surgery for a brain clot, rather than in a hospital; the defendants maintain his death resulted from a natural decline in his health.
