Impeachment Jury for Judge Julieta Makintach Set for Nov. 6 Over Unauthorized Filming in Maradona Case

The proceeding will weigh whether her role in a documentary project during an active trial amounts to malfeasance warranting removal.

Overview

  • Supreme Court judge Hilda Kogan will preside over the Buenos Aires provincial jury, which will convene in the Senate’s Alberto Ballestrini annex in La Plata.
  • Notifications issued this week formalized the mixed panel of provincial legislators and five lawyer conjueces who will hear the case.
  • Parallel to the political trial, San Isidro prosecutors have imputed Makintach for passive bribery, abuse of authority, breach of duties, embezzlement of public funds and peculation of services.
  • Judge Esteban Rossignoli ordered the seizure of two office hard drives (Hikvision and Seagate Barracuda), which investigators consider key digital evidence.
  • Makintach remains suspended on 40% pay and her defense is pressing recusals, nullity claims and appeals, alleging persecution and irregularities that they argue should delay the jury.
