The judge in the murder procedure of Diego Maradona in Argentina meets in the scandal | World news

Buenos Aires – One of the three Argentine judges who were charged with the trial of seven members of the medical team of Diego Maradona due to negligent murder in the 2020 death of the football star, because the allegations of ethical violations left the future of the procedure uncertain.

Judge Julieta Makintach resigned from the case after the video appeared in the last few days, in which she showed that she was apparently interviewed by a camera team in the corridors of the court building of Buenos Aires and in her office. Court rules prohibit those interviews in which a judge is involved in the middle of the trial.

The process began on March 11 in the South American country, where the World Cup winner is a revered personality. The accused contested the charges for “simple murder with any intention” in Maradona's treatment. If you are convicted, you could be suspended in prison between eight and 25 years.

“This is a judicial tragedy,” said Fernando Burlando, a lawyer of the oldest daughters of Maradona, Dalma and Gianinna, reporters on Tuesday and referred to the behavior of the judge.

The prosecutors have described the care that Maradona was given as ruthless, poor and unprecedented.

The next steps in the process remain unclear. Burlando said that the process could later be appointed this year with a new judge who was commissioned to join the remaining two cases of the case.

Maradona, who is one of the greatest players of all time, died in November 2020 at home in Buenos Aires at the age of 60, while recovering from the operation to remove a blood clot that he previously experienced.

His death led to an expression of mourning and fingers in Argentina about who was to blame for addiction and sick health after Maradona's years. Maradona led Argentina to a World Cup victory in 1986 and scored one of the most memorable goals in sporting history against England.

An eighth member of the medical team will be suspended in July in the jury in front of a separate court hearing.

The certificate already specified in the process comes from witnesses, including family members, doctors, friends of Maradona and journalists. One of the seven defendants, Maradona's psychiatrist, testified. Overall, more than 190 witnesses are expected.
