Case for the death of Diego Maradona will have a key audience with more than 130 thousand revealing audios

This Wednesday the Argentine justice system will define a key chapter in the case for the death of Diego Armando Maradona: the evidence with which the eight accused will be tried for simple homicide due to possible intent, a penalty that includes up to 25 years in prison.
