Diego Maradona's Remains to be Exhumed in Buenos Aires

A court in Argentina has authorized the exhumation of Diego Maradona's remains from Jardin Bella Vista cemetery to a new public mausoleum named the Memorial del Diez (M10 Memorial) in Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires. This decision follows a request from Maradona's children, who have been advocating for a public memorial since 2021, aiming to create a space for fans to pay their respects. The court granted the move citing humanitarian and emotional reasons, allowing the family to choose when the relocation will occur. Maradona, who died in 2020 at the age of 60, is remembered as one of football's greatest players, noted for his iconic 'Hand of God' goal and significant contributions to the sport. Additionally, a trial concerning allegations of medical negligence related to his death is set to begin next March, involving eight healthcare professionals. His legacy continues to resonate deeply, especially among fans in Argentina and Italy.
