BUENOS AIRES — Seven medical professionals who cared for Argentine soccer legend Diego Maradona during his final days go on trial Tuesday accused of criminal negligence over his death.

Maradona died aged 60 on Nov 25, 2020, while recovering from brain surgery for a blood clot, after decades of battling cocaine and alcohol addictions.

Each defendant faces between eight and 25 years in prison if convicted of "homicide with possible intent" — allegedly for pursuing a course of action, despite knowing it could lead to the soccer star's death.
