The trial of Diego Maradona's medical team in Argentina collapses due to a judge's participation in a documentary about the case, causing a mistrial. The medical team faces charges of negligent homicide in connection with Maradona's death in 2020 after brain surgery, with potential sentences of eight to 25 years in prison if convicted. Amid accusations and emotional reactions from Maradona's family, the proceedings will have to start over, with new judges and a trial date yet to be determined.
