The trial sessions for the death case of Argentine and world football legend Diego Maradona witnessed tense atmospheres on Tuesday, marked by insults, threats, and even physical scuffles between two lawyers, leading to the suspension of the session. The incident occurred between Fernando Burlando, lawyer for Maradona's daughters, and the lawyer for the main defendant Leopoldo Luque, the neurosurgeon who oversaw the football legend in 2020 during his post-surgery recovery period which ended with his death. Burlando appeared upset about the cooperation of one witness, a former security guard of Maradona, and asked the court to warn him against giving false testimony. The witness was speaking about Luque's role within the medical team surrounding the late star. Luque's lawyer, Francisco Onetto, considered that as a veiled threat, to which Burlando sharply replied, 'The threat is directed at your client,' referring to a possible prison sentence ranging from eight to 25 years that the defendants face. Tensions quickly escalated between the two lawyers, who approached each other inside the courtroom, prompting the judges to suspend the session. However, the quarrel resumed more intensely outside the courtroom, where the lawyers stood face to face and exchanged insults. All of this occurred surrounded by a cordon of police officers, other lawyers, and journalists. Physical contact was only prevented after intervention by a prosecutor and a police officer. The session resumed after 40 minutes, but not before the presiding judge issued a new warning to the lawyers, saying: 'Next time there is an assault, you will be expelled from the courtroom.' The trial over Maradona's death enters its fourth month in the city of San Isidro, north of Buenos Aires, with two sessions per week. Seven healthcare workers are being tried for potential negligence that may have contributed to the death. Maradona died on November 25, 2020, at age 60 due to a cardiorespiratory arrest accompanied by pulmonary edema, while he was alone in his bed in a rented house in the town of Tigre, north of Buenos Aires, designated for his recovery. According to forensic medical testimonies, he suffered for several hours before his death. All defendants deny any responsibility for Maradona's death, and most adhere to defense based on the limits of their professional competence and separate roles, asserting no direct link between them and the clinical causes of death. The trial is expected to continue until August.
