Overview

  • Hearings restarted Monday after the previous session was halted by a power outage and water leakage during Judge Maximiliano Savarino’s testimony.
  • Prosecutor José Ignacio Amallo testified that Makintach was not only a participant but also a producer of the project, which he described as a money-making venture.
  • Judge Ariel Introzzi told the panel that Makintach had earlier denied the documentary’s existence to colleagues and criticized filming inside the courthouse.
  • Savarino is due to continue, with Judge Verónica Di Tommaso, Jana Maradona, and lawyers Fernando Burlando and Rodolfo Baqué among the witnesses scheduled for today.
  • The tribunal, led by Supreme Court justice Hilda Kogan, will hear evidence through the week before deciding on possible removal on charges that include bribery, abuse of authority, and misuse of public resources.
