Trial over Diego Maradona's death: verdict expected on December 22 after about fifty hearings and six months of debates
Dalma Maradona expressed hope for justice regarding her father's death during the trial assessing medical negligence. The court will deliver its verdict on December 22 after six months of hearings involving seven healthcare professionals. The prosecution has requested prison sentences ranging from four to twelve years for six defendants, with the heaviest sentence aimed at Dr. Leopoldo Luque, who maintains his innocence. The defense argued against negligence claims, citing a lack of direct involvement in Maradona's care. The trial highlighted significant disorganization in the medical management of the football legend's recovery, leading to emotional moments in court, including tears from the presiding judge.
