Diego Maradona

Diego Maradona remains in plain sight even after death. The Prosecutor's Office of San Isidro has completed an investigation into the causes of the death of the famous football player. 7 doctors have now been charged. Representatives of justice are asking the court for huge terms. How much does the doctors face? What charges have been brought against them?

What are the doctors accused of?

The prosecutor's office concluded that the medical team that tried to save Maradona's life was acting unprofessional, mediocre and reckless. The report indicates that the doctors left the health of the football player to their fate, to chance.

At the time of his death, Maradona was 60 years old. Death was caused by acute pulmonary edema, which was a consequence of chronic heart failure. Experts discovered dilated cardiomyopathy in the football player. This disease leads to an increase in the chambers of the heart. There can be a lot of reasons for the disease.

Experts found that Maradona's heart was enlarged at least 2 times. This phenomenon is quite rare. In this regard, it was decided to keep the main internal organ of the footballer and the coach. It will go to study.

What threatens the medical team

The prosecutor's office asks medical workers for punishment in the form of detention for a period of 8 to 25 years. In addition, the requirement includes a ban on leaving the territory of Argentina. That is, they will be prohibited from leaving the state. Apparently, the prosecutor's office fears the escape of the suspects.

People's opinions about the punishment were divided. Many agree that doctors worked unprofessionally, carelessly. But for their crime (or rather, negligence) they should not be given a quarter of a century. The maximum sentence should be either several years of imprisonment, or not related to detention. Personally, I agree with these football fans.

Everyone knows that Maradona is a drug addict. Yes, most likely they were pumped with drugs. Here the heart could not stand it. Drugs and a ton of drugs can kill anyone. Perhaps the doctors acted unprofessionally, but they did not deserve such a harsh punishment. Most likely the case here will be indicative. The doctors became victims. I think that 2 - 3 years can be given. But no more.
