Testimony Highlights Negligence in Maradona’s Care

The owner of the house where Diego Maradona passed away described the conditions of his recovery as “unhealthy.” Testifying in the ongoing trial in Buenos Aires, he stated that the house was in a “miserable” state after the football legend’s death in November 2020.
His testimony supports the prosecution’s claim of negligence against seven healthcare professionals, who face up to 25 years in prison. Maradona, recovering from surgery for a subdural hematoma, was placed in home care during the COVID-19 lockdown. This high-profile trial seeks to determine whether his death was due to natural causes or medical malpractice.
