Overview
- Proceedings in La Plata restarted after last week’s power outage and water leak forced a suspension of the hearing.
- Judge Maximiliano Savarino testified that Julieta Makintach lied to colleagues and arranged a documentary without tribunal authorization, describing a “parallel trial.”
- Chat messages from the “Juicio DAM” group show references to a camera, mention court communications official Ezequiel Klass, and include Makintach’s assurances that colleagues would not be filmed.
- Prosecutor Analía Duarte said she will seek Makintach’s removal, alleging the judge chose to join a project with potential commercial aims during the active trial.
- Makintach apologized for the damage to the judiciary, denied knowing the producer, and filed a complaint accusing Savarino of aggravated false testimony as the evidentiary phase continues following the Maradona trial’s annulment.
