A lawsuit has been filed regarding the death of Diego Maradona. Seven healthcare professionals responsible for the football legend's treatment are facing up to 25 years in prison for their alleged negligence that led to Maradona's death.

The legendary figure of Argentine football, Maradona, passed away at the age of 60 just two weeks after being discharged from the hospital following surgery for a brain hemorrhage in 2020. Maradona's family claims that the team responsible for his treatment acted negligently and attempted to cover up the situation.

Maradona's eldest daughter, Dalma, states that a group she refers to as the "mafia of killers" is responsible for her father's death. In her statement, she said, "My mother is scared because she is afraid of a mafia that controls everything, with money and power. But I cannot remain silent. People need to know the truth."

The medical board established by the prosecution accused the healthcare team of "inappropriate, insufficient, and negligent behavior" in a report published in 2021. According to the report, Maradona's home care was not in accordance with medical norms, and he was discharged too early after surgery.

Among the defendants are Maradona's neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque, his psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov, addiction specialist Carlos Diaz, and nurses. All deny the charges.

Maradona's official cause of death was recorded as "acute pulmonary edema due to chronic heart failure." However, experts believe that his death could have been prevented if appropriate medical care had been provided.

Maradona, who led Argentina to victory in the 1986 World Cup and is remembered for the "Hand of God" goal, was known not only for his football talent but also for the issues in his personal life. He struggled with drug and alcohol addiction and obesity for many years.
