Trial of Maradona's Doctors Is Suspended After Judge Is Accused of Authorizing Documentary
- The trial of seven healthcare professionals accused of negligence in Diego Maradona's 2020 death was suspended on May 20, 2025, in San Isidro, Argentina.
- The suspension occurred after allegations surfaced that Judge Julieta Makintach permitted a documentary crew to record the court proceedings without obtaining approval from the defense or prosecution.
- The prosecution argues Maradona’s death was preventable with proper care, while Makintach denies wrongdoing amid calls for her removal over concerns about impartiality and links to the documentary’s production.
- Prosecutor Patricio Ferrari requested a suspension until May 27 to investigate alleged irregularities, noting that the situation compromises judicial prestige, while Maradona’s family lawyers supported this pause.
- The temporary halt aims to ensure trial integrity and thoroughness, with trial continuation pending review of Judge Makintach’s conduct and her alleged connections through her brother to the documentary company.
