STORYLINE:
An Argentine court started on Tuesday its trial of seven healthcare professionals accused of negligence in the death of soccer great Diego Maradona, at age 60.
Maradona was under the care of those professionals when he had a cardiac arrest in a house outside Buenos Aires on November 25, 2020.
Three judges will decide whether those charged, including a neurosurgeon, a psychiatrist and several medical staffers, are guilty of manslaughter.
The maximum jail time for those sentenced is 25 years.
The tearful family of the 1986 World Cup winner were present at the courtroom.
Maradona’s oldest daughters, Dalma and Giannina, sat in the front row near Verónica Ojeda, former partner of the footballer, and Jana, another of his daughters.
