Amid shouts and calls for attention, the last witness testified in the trial for Maradona's death: what will the final stage be like?

This week concluded the testimony phase in the trial concerning the death of Diego Armando Maradona, marking the end of statements from the 73 witnesses called in the case. The final testimony, delivered by official expert Pablo Ferrari, took place during a tumultuous court session characterized by shouts, controversies, and a formal sanction, setting the stage for the final phase of the legal proceedings.

Simultaneously, in an unrelated ecclesiastical development in Central America, the Archdiocese of Panama publicly acknowledged a score of sexual abuse cases involving minors and vulnerable persons reported between 2001 and 2025. The church administration admitted to significant deficiencies in its record-keeping and procedural handling of these complaints, which have complicated institutional accountability.
