In a recent Argentine court proceeding, prosecutors have requested a 12‑year prison sentence for Leopoldo Luque, one of seven healthcare professionals on trial in connection with the death of former football legend Diego Maradona.
The court has indicated that Luque was made a scapegoat for Maradona’s death, according to statements presented during the trial.
Luque is among a group of seven medical staff who are being examined for their roles in the circumstances surrounding Maradona’s passing.
Prosecutors’ request for a 12‑year sentence reflects the seriousness with which the Argentine legal system is treating the case, as the trial continues to unfold.
