Overview
- A San Isidro criminal court suspended the trial over Diego Maradona’s 2020 death and ordered seizure of all related records at Sanatorio Los Arcos and the prepaga to allow a fresh expert review of clinical files that were reportedly mixed with his father’s.
- Judges said some records used by the Junta Médica contained entries from Maradona’s father, prompting the pause so already‑heard experts may be recalled to confirm or revise their findings.
- FIFA’s Disciplinary Committee confirmed multi‑match bans for several Argentine players and fined the AFA, and the Spanish paper Marca ran a provocative front page criticizing Argentina’s conduct after the World Cup final.
- Separate legal cases advanced regionally: Facundo Moyano remains under investigation with 11 witnesses already heard and further testimony scheduled, and Fernando Cerimedo was ordered detained preventively for 180 days in Bolivia on charges linked to an attack on lawyer Nadia Beller.
- In Peru, a man identified as Rosillo Quiroz, alias “Jota,” surrendered and asked to invoke a formal confession procedure while handing over clothes and a motorcycle that investigators will forensically test as he names alleged union backers.
