The trial into the death of football legend Diego Maradona gained new momentum when a deathbed film was shown.

The former world star, who died in 2020 during rehabilitation after brain surgery, appeared severely swollen in his face and around his abdomen, according to footage from Argentine forensic police.

Seven healthcare workers face long prison sentences if convicted of knowingly failing to provide care.

Witnesses describe how necessary medical equipment was missing from the home where Maradona was being treated. The defense claims the death was due to natural causes.

Maradona's daughter Gianinna cried and hid her face in her hands when the pictures were shown.

The trial is expected to last several months.
