Overview

  • In a restarted hearing, Judge Maximiliano Savarino testified that Makintach lied to colleagues, arranged unauthorized filming and misled the tribunal by saying the camera was for something personal.
  • According to Savarino, Makintach pushed to visit Maradona’s home for the film and even sought colleagues’ advance votes to feed the documentary project.
  • Prosecutor José Ignacio Amallo said evidence indicates Makintach was not only a participant but also a producer of Justicia Divina with a commercial objective.
  • Chat logs from March show Makintach telling fellow judges they would not be filmed and referencing court communications official Ezequiel Klass, undercutting her defense.
  • The jury, chaired by Supreme Court president Hilda Kogan, will continue taking testimony this week before ruling on possible removal; the Maradona death trial was annulled after the documentary surfaced and Makintach faces multiple misconduct and corruption charges.
