Seven people are under investigation in the death of Argentine soccer legend Diego Maradona last November, as they face charges of premeditated murder.

The medical staff who was overseeing Maradona's health, including the neurosurgeon, Maradona's private physician Leopoldo Locke, the psychiatrist Augustina Kosachov and the psychologist Carlos Diaz, face between eight to 25 years in prison if convicted.

A source from the San Isidro attorney general's office leading the investigation said on Wednesday that the indictment is based on the findings of a panel of experts into Maradona's death of a heart attack last year.

The committee's report, published on May 1, concluded that Maradona did not receive adequate medical care and was "left to his fate" by his treating team shortly before his death, which led to "inappropriate treatment" that contributed to his slow death.

The 70-page report indicated that the medical committee in charge of the investigation, at the request of the judiciary regarding the last hours of the Argentine star, determined that Maradona "began to die at least 12 hours before his death" and endured "a period of long agony", after undergoing surgery in The brain after a blood clot.

Two of Maradona's five daughters, Giannina (31 years) and Jana (24 years), initiated the lawsuit, after holding Loki responsible for their father's deteriorating health.

The prosecution received a series of audio messages showing that the medical team was aware that Maradona was using alcohol, psychiatric drugs and marijuana in the last months of his life.

The accusations, along with another case related to Maradona's disputed inheritance, include his five children, brothers and former lawyer Matthias Morla.
