The death of football legend Diego Maradona in 2020 was devastating. But was it criminal? An Argentine court will ultimately decide on this. The Washington Post Eight members of Maradona’s medical team have reportedly been charged with murder for allegedly failing to keep Maradona alive. He died in Buenos Aires two weeks after being released from a hospital following emergency brain surgery for a blood clot.

If convicted, they face prison sentences of up to 25 years. More:
