Prosecutors investigating the 2020 death of Argentine football legend Diego Maradona have asked that the medical staff who treated him be tried for negligent homicide. 


In their request Wednesday, the prosecutors said “omissions” and mismanagement by eight medical professionals in charge of Maradona placed him in a “situation of helplessness” and abandoned him “to his fate” during his home hospitalisation, according to the court filing cited by the official Telam news agency. 


Maradona died at age 50 in 2020 while recovering from brain surgery for a blood clot.
