The homicide case against Diego Maradona’s medical team has been declared a mistrial.

The decision came after one of three judges in the case, Judge Julieta Makintach, resigned on Tuesday in the face of allegations of an ethical breach.

A date for the new trial has not been announced and new judges were not yet nominated.

The case follows Maradona’s death in 2020 at the age of 60.

The football legend died from heart failure while recovering from surgery for a haematoma that formed between his skull and brain.

Seven members of his medical team were later charged with negligent homicide.

Hailed as one of the greatest players to ever grace a football pitch, Maradona almost single-handedly led Argentina to the 1986 World Cup title.
