Seven members of the medical team treated by football legend Diego Maradona before his death will be held on Tuesday in Buenos Aires.
They are accused of negligence in the death of the 2020 World Cup champion.
Maradona had a fatal heart attack at home in November that year, just two weeks after he was released from bleeding from the brain.
His family claimed negligence, cover-up and derogatory comments, overseeing his care – calling it a “mafia.”
Maradona has struggled with drug use, obesity and alcoholism for decades and was close to death in 2000 and 2004.
But the prosecutor suspected – not because of the doctor’s negligence, his death could be avoided.
Seven of the eight medical professionals, including Maradona’s brain surgeon, psychiatrist and nurse, are undergoing a charge of homicide, a crime roughly equivalent to involuntary homicide.
They deny wrongdoing but may face up to 25 years in prison.
Dalma Maradona, the eldest daughter of the legend, shared a video that contained audio from her claim to prove that her father was a serious violation in her care. She revealed that her mother was worried about the “mafia” who “controlled everything”.
“My mother was worried because she was scared,” she said in the Angel Response show on Bondy Live.
‘Fear of the mafia, the man who controls everything has money and strength. But I don’t care. I know the people I’m going to deal with, but I can’t keep silent. We need people to know the truth. My mom kept telling me “Shut up, say nothing, I’m scared” but I can’t. I owe him.
Dalma reportedly claimed that the “assassin mafia” caused the death of his father. She claimed there was a conversation about cover-up and professional negligence, and there were some recordings that demonstrated the lack of medical care.
Maradona won the World Cup with Argentina in 1986, defeating England in the quarterfinals with the infamous “Hand of God” while the other was voted for “Target of the Century”.
