    Trial of Maradona's medical team starting this week

    About 100 witnesses are expected to be questioned throughout the proceedings

    Seven healthcare professionals treating Argentine football legend Diego Armando Maradona will stand trial for manslaughter and negligence resulting in death starting this week. The proceedings are expected to last four months. If convicted, each defendant faces between eight and 25 years in jail. One nurse will be tried separately, starting in July, since she chose a trial by jury.
