- Makintach, currently suspended and facing a parallel criminal case in UFI No. 1 of San Isidro, was also removed from her university teaching post.
- The judge reiterated that there was no documentary of hers, accused colleagues Maximiliano Savarino and Verónica Di Tomasso of lying, and said the nullification could have been avoided.
- Footage released in May showed her filmed en route to the San Isidro courts, in her office, and inside the courtroom, and the jury’s options include removal, continuation in office, confirmation of suspension, or another sanction.
