Overview
- At 10:40 a.m. in La Plata, an 11-member jury of enjuiciamiento unanimously removed Makintach for misconduct tied to the filming of “Justicia Divina” during the Maradona death trial.
- The decision bars her for life from judicial posts and cuts off her magistrate pension, with a roughly 115-page ruling to be sent to the provincial Supreme Court.
- Prosecutors presented a trailer, a six-part script outline and testimony that production staff entered the San Isidro courts with her authorization to support claims of abuse of office.
- Makintach did not attend the reading, maintains there was no documentary under her ownership, and says she will appeal to the Supreme Court.
- The annulled Maradona trial is scheduled to restart on March 17, 2026, with a preliminary hearing reported for December 2, and her removal lifts judicial fueros as parallel criminal probes continue.
