Leopoldo Luque

Leopoldo Luque is Diego Maradona's personal physician. He is one of seven healthcare professionals currently facing a retrial in Argentina for alleged manslaughter with eventual intent in connection to Maradona's death in 2020. The original trial, which began in March 2025, was annulled in May 2025 due to the removal of a judge involved in secretly recording a documentary within the court. The new trial commenced recently, with Maradona's daughter vowing retribution against those responsible for his death. Luque's role in Maradona's medical care and the allegations of negligence are central to the legal proceedings, making him a key figure in the ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding the football legend's passing.
