About

Tigre is the location where Argentinian football legend Diego Maradona died in November 2020 at the age of 60. He passed away after suffering heart failure. Tigre is newsworthy because a retrial is beginning to determine if Maradona's medical team was responsible for his death. The first trial collapsed due to a judge allegedly allowing unauthorized filming. Seven members of Maradona's medical team are accused of failing to administer proper medical care and will be tried for homicide. The retrial seeks to establish whether negligence or malpractice contributed to his death. The case is of significant public interest due to Maradona's status as one of the greatest football players of all time.
