Maradona's Daughter Testifies in Trial Over Medical Care Before His Death

Diego Maradona's daughter Gianinna testified in the negligence trial against seven medical professionals accused of failing to provide adequate care before the football legend's 2020 death. She accused neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque and others of manipulating the family and allowing Maradona to recover at home, where his health worsened. The defendants deny the charges, arguing that Maradona's daughters delayed necessary care. The trial centers on whether home care contributed to Maradona's fatal cardiac arrest after brain surgery.
