Overview
- During Thursday’s alegatos, the provincial Procuración, represented by fiscal Analía Duarte, asked the panel to destitute Julieta Makintach, accusing her of lying, manipulating the process and misusing public resources.
- The proceeding entered its final phase with testimony from an ex‑student of Makintach and both sides’ closing arguments; the conjueces now have five days to deliberate, with a ruling expected as early as Tuesday.
- The disciplinary case stems from the appearance of footage linked to the documentary “Justicia Divina,” shown in May, which triggered the annulment of the original trial into Diego Maradona’s death.
- Gianinna Maradona testified that the judge swore to her there was no documentary, while producers said they filmed briefly before the trial and asserted the judge knew of the project.
- Makintach denies wrongdoing, remains suspended after tendering her resignation, and faces a separate criminal investigation in San Isidro where prosecutors have imputed her on counts including passive bribery and breach of duties.
