A surgeon testified that Diego Maradona should not have been allowed home care after brain surgery without constant monitoring and proper equipment. The football icon died in November 2020, two weeks after surgery for a brain clot, from heart failure and fluid in his lungs. Seven healthcare professionals are on trial for criminal negligence. Maradona's home reportedly lacked essential medical equipment, and a nursing supervisor had warned the team they were unprepared for emergencies. The accused deny responsibility.
