The trial over the death of Argentine football superstar Diego Maradona, who perished from an acute pulmonary edema in 2020, is set to start once again on Tuesday. This will be the second time the proceeding goes ahead, after the first court case was declared a mistrial in May 2025. Within this framework, our goal is to prevent impunity for those responsible for the death of Diego Maradona.”What happened to Diego Maradona? They, along with medical care coordinators Nancy Forlini and Mariano Perroni, designated doctor Pedro Di Spagna, and nurses Ricardo Almirón and Dahiana Madrid, were charged with involuntary manslaughter. The original court case started over a year ago, in March 2025, after being pushed back nine months from its original date.
