Retrial into the death of football legend Diego Maradona began on Tuesday, bringing renewed global attention to the circumstances surrounding the final days of one of football’s most iconic figures.

The proceedings come after an earlier trial in May 2025 was declared null and void. 

The case collapsed following allegations that one of the presiding judges had allowed unauthorised filming inside the courtroom for a documentary, raising concerns about procedural violations and the integrity of the trial process.

The new hearing seeks to revisit the events surrounding Maradona’s death and determine accountability in a case that has continued to attract widespread public and legal scrutiny.

Maradona, widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, died in 2020, triggering a long-running legal process aimed at establishing whether there was negligence in his medical care during his final days.

Court officials confirmed that the retrial will follow strict procedural guidelines to avoid a repeat of the issues that led to the collapse of the previous proceedings.

The earlier trial had been underway for several weeks before it was abruptly halted, prompting criticism and renewed calls for transparency in the judicial process.

The decision to restart the case has been closely followed both in Argentina and internationally, with fans, legal observers, and sporting communities awaiting clarity on the circumstances that surrounded the football legend’s death.

Prosecutors are expected to present evidence relating to the medical treatment Maradona received prior to his passing, while the defence teams are anticipated to challenge claims of negligence.

The case is expected to involve testimony from medical professionals, legal experts, and individuals who were part of Maradona’s care team.

The court has emphasized the importance of maintaining order and fairness throughout the proceedings, given the high-profile nature of the case and the global interest it continues to generate.

Authorities have also moved to restrict media activity inside the courtroom to prevent any interference with the trial.
