BUENOS AIRES • Seven people under investigation over the November death of Argentine footballing legend Diego Maradona face charges of premeditated murder, Agence France-Presse has learnt from a judicial source.
The accused, who include his neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque, psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov and psychologist Carlos Diaz - face eight to 25 years in prison if found guilty.

Pirlo to stay at Juventus despite poor campaign
TURIN • Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo has said his goal is to continue managing the club that he loves after steering his side to a 2-1 Italian Cup triumph over Atalanta on Wednesday, the rookie's first trophy since taking charge last summer.
Despite goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Federico Chiesa giving Juve their 14th Cup, they have had a poor season, with Inter Milan claiming the Serie A title for the first time in 11 years.
Juventus will not finish in the Serie A's top four unless Sunday's final round of results go their way.
