Maradona’s Daughter Accuses Doctors of Manipulating Family During Death Trial
Diego Maradona’s daughter Gianinna has accused his medical team of “total manipulation” in the months before his 2020 death. She testified in San Isidro that the doctors convinced the family her father could recover safely at home, leaving her son without a grandfather. The seven defendants deny wrongdoing, arguing Maradona’s heart failure was due to natural causes and his battle with addiction. If convicted of homicide with possible intent, they face up to 25 years in prison. A key question is whether allowing Maradona to convalesce at his Tigre home instead of a medical facility endangered his life. This is the second trial after last year’s proceedings were annulled over a judge’s undisclosed role in a related documentary.
