BUENOS AIRES, Argentina—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.
