Seven people questioned as part of the investigation into the death of the legendary football player Diego Maradona, so far suspected of manslaughter, will be prosecuted for manslaughter with aggravating circumstances, sources close to the Argentine judicial authorities announced today.

As it is added, they face a prison sentence of eight to 25 years.

The Prosecutor's Office of Buenos Aires, in charge of the investigation into the circumstances of Maradona's death, believes that the footballer's death "was the result of professional error and negligence of the medical team, which caused the deterioration of his health and his death."

The most important thing is that the legal qualification of the act has been changed and that it now refers to manslaughter with aggravating circumstances, an unnamed judicial source told France Press.

According to the previous qualifications of the court, the suspects were threatened with a lesser prison sentence, from five to 15 years in prison.

The investigating judge will hear them and then decide on the further course of criminal prosecution.

Maradona died on November 25 of a heart attack at the age of 60, at his home while recovering from brain surgery.
