The reason for the retrial is that one of the judges resigned recently, as her impartiality was questioned. This is because she is involved in a documentary film about the case that is being made.
It is unclear when a new trial can start.
Soccer legend Diego Maradona died in 2020 at his home outside Argentina's capital, 60 years old. At that time, two weeks had passed since he was discharged from the intensive care unit Olivos after an operation for a blood clot in the brain. Maradona's family believes that the icon could have survived if he had received proper care.
His medical staff, seven people, are accused of negligence that led to the former soccer star's death.
