The trial for the death of the former Argentine soccer player Diego Armando Maradona, which was scheduled to begin on June 4, will finally begin on October 1 at Oral Criminal Court No. 3 of San Isidro (province of Buenos Aires), as confirmed this Wednesday by judicial sources.
“The assigned trial hearing, the beginning of which was set for June 4, 2024, shall be suspended and rescheduled for the same purpose, and maintain the scheme established in the resolution of 3/18/24, beginning on the day of 1 October 2024, at 9:30 am,” said the document to which EFE had access.
The new date, pending appeal
The case investigating the alleged medical negligence in the death of one of the greatest idols of Argentine soccer, in which eight people are accused, has a new date; although, according to sources consulted, unlikely to sustain itbecause of the appeal presented by one of the accused nurses, Dahiana Madrid
It requested that the trial be held by a popular jury and not by technical judges, as dictated by law, an appeal accepted by the Court of Appeals, which must rule on it.
Diego’s children’s request
All this makes it unlikely that the case will start in October, because, to all this, we add that Maradona’s daughters asked that the trial not start until the resolution is final to avoid its subsequent annulment.
In addition to these obstacles that prevent the initiation of the process, the informational importance of the case and the number of parties involved make it worth considering the possibility of transferring it to a larger and more suitable place to ” let all see and study it.” , as EFE learned from judicial sources.
Also, the lawsuit surrounding the figure of the former player of Boca Juniors, Napoli and FC Barcelona also showed protests about the expert tests that were carried out, although sources assure that they were dismissed as irrelevant.
The fuzz‘ passed away on November 25, 2020, 25 days after turning 60.
An autopsy determined that Argentina’s former captain and former coach died as a result of “acute pulmonary edema secondary to exacerbated chronic heart failure.” A “dilated cardiomyopathy” was also discovered in his heart.
The world champion in Mexico 1986 suffered from alcohol addiction problems, he was admitted to a clinic in La Plata – where he is the Gimnasia y Esgrima coach – on November 2, 2020 due to anemia and dehydration and, a day, he was transferred to a sanatorium in the Buenos Aires town of Olivos, where he underwent surgery for a subdural hematoma.
On November 11, 2020, he was discharged from the hospital and transferred to a house outside Buenos Aires, where he died.
