On April 18 of last year, the San Isidro Court of Appeals and Guarantees confirmed the elevation of the case for Maradona's death in 2020 to trial.
It was when he rejected the requests for annulment of the process and the change of legal classification of the judicial case.
For Justice, Maradona's death "could have been avoided."
The death of Diego Maradona
Diego Maradona suffered from alcohol addiction problems and had been admitted to a clinic in La Plata on November 2, 2020. He had anemia and dehydration.
A day later, he was transferred to a sanatorium in the Buenos Aires town of Olivos, where he underwent surgery for a subdural hematoma.
On November 11 of that year, Maradona was discharged from the hospital and moved to a house in the private neighborhood of San Andrés, in Tigre.
There, he would supposedly have the supervision of a specialized group of professionals who would take care of him.
But, a couple of weeks later,
he died on November 25

According to the autopsy, Maradona's death was due to "
acute pulmonary edema
secondary to exacerbated chronic heart failure."
And it was also discovered that he had “
dilated cardiomyopathy
.”
But, since then, his family environment - especially his daughters Dalma and Gianinna - maintain that Maradona suffered "
severe and deliberate abandonment
" by the accused professionals.
