Judge Julieta Makintach Denies Maradona Trial Documentary, Blames Colleagues Ahead of Jury Verdict

A 12-member disciplinary jury will deliver its decision Tuesday morning at the Buenos Aires provincial senate annex.

Overview

  • Makintach reiterated that the documentary titled Justicia Divina did not exist and said the only footage that surfaced was not hers.
  • She accused fellow TOC 3 judges Verónica Di Tomasso and Maximiliano Savarino of lying and failing to act to prevent the trial’s nullification.
  • Makintach said her colleagues denied discussing a camera that recorded three hours of the first hearing and streamed on YouTube, which she claims was later proven.
  • She noted she has not spoken with the other judges since the scandal broke in late May and declined to speculate on the outcome, saying, “We will wait.”
  • The suspended judge remains removed from her Universidad Austral post and is imputed in a criminal case in UFI No. 1 of San Isidro, while reports link the audiovisual project to the trial’s annulment.
