The fraught and fiery trial of late football legend Diego Maradona's medical team has entered a new phase with doubts cast over blood tests used as evidence.
San Isidro, Argentina - The latest trial over the death of Argentine football legend Diego Maradona was suspended Thursday following claims that kidney test results presented to the court came from his father.
Seven health care workers are accused of criminal negligence over the care Maradona received before his death at age 60 in November 2020, while he was recuperating from brain surgery.
The first trial was dramatically annulled last year after two-and-a-half months of hearings, following revelations that one of the judges overseeing it took part in a clandestine documentary about the case.
A new trial began in April. It had been nearing a close when it, too, became embroiled in controversy.
