Leopoldo Luque, the personal physician of Diego Maradona, is currently on trial in San Isidro, a suburb of Buenos Aires, for alleged gross negligence that contributed to the football legend's death in November 2020. Maradona, who was 60 years old, died from heart failure and acute pulmonary edema shortly after undergoing surgery for a brain clot. Luque, along with six other medical professionals, faces serious charges that could result in prison sentences of 8 to 25 years if convicted of homicide with possible intent. During the trial, Luque expressed his innocence and deep regret over Maradona's passing, stating that he considered the footballer his idol and friend. Prosecutor Patricio Ferrari criticized the medical team for their lack of professionalism, while the defendants argue that Maradona's death was due to natural causes stemming from his long history of substance abuse. A significant aspect of the trial is whether allowing Maradona to recover at home instead of in a medical facility endangered his life. Evidence presented includes WhatsApp messages suggesting Luque manipulated Maradona's daughters to support his home care decision.
