Argentine prosecutors will question Diego Maradona's personal doctor and six other caregivers accused of medical negligence leading to the death of the football player.
The seven are under investigation for manslaughter after a panel of experts examining Maradona's death found he had been given inadequate care and was even abandoned for a "prolonged and agonizing period," news reports say.
A medical evaluation team consisting of 20 physicians convened by Argentina's public prosecutor last month said Maradona's medical team's behavior was "Inappropriate, flawed and reckless" and claimed Maradona wasn't properly monitored.
Maradona died of a heart attack in November aged 60 and just weeks after he had brain surgery to remove a blood clot, according to Inside Sports.
Maradona's two children filed a medical negligence complaint against his neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque - whom they blame for their father's deteriorating health condition after the surgery.
The panel of experts concluded that Maradona "would have had a better chance of survival" with adequate treatment in an appropriate medical facility, reports said.
Maradona had drug and alcohol addictions for many years. A post-mortem examination found he died in his sleep of acute pulmonary edema - or a buildup of fluid in the lungs - because of congestive heart failure, according to ESPN News.
The accused are restricted from leaving Argentina while a judge decides if the case should go to trial. If found guilty all seven could face between eight and 25 years in prison.
A 1986 World Cup winner with Argentina, Maradona played for Barcelona, Napoli, Sevilla, Boca Juniors and Argentinos Juniors.
Maradona is considered one of the greatest footballers.
