A criminal court in Argentina has postponed to Oct. 1 the start of a trial in a criminal negligence case brought against eight people allegedly involved in the death of soccer legend Diego Maradona.

The trial was set to start on June 4, but the criminal court in San Isidro, on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, said in a decision published by local media Tuesday night that "several questions have been raised" by all parts involved in the homicide case, adding that "at this date they are still to be resolved." The court did not elaborate further on its decision.

The investigation started by request of members of Maradona's family days after his death. The eight people on trial, including doctors and nurses, are accused of being responsible for the death of the legendary footballer, who was being treated at a rented home after a successful surgery for possible bleeding on his brain.

The defendants have denied any violations or irregularities in Maradona’s treatment.
