Overview
- Suspended judge Julieta Makintach filed a criminal complaint claiming investigators planted a documentary clip via her esthetician and manipulated a May 27 acta that, she says, lacks basic metadata and chain-of-custody details.
- Her lawyer asked the provincial procurator to assign the probe outside San Isidro and accused officials of falsedad ideológica, abuso de autoridad and concealment or misuse of evidence.
- Dalma and Gianinna Maradona requested protection for police witnesses and the esthetician, a no-contact order for Makintach, and the seizure of the judge’s court-issued computer to preserve possible digital evidence.
- Fiscal Cosme Iribarren issued a detailed rebuttal defending prosecutorial conduct, asserting documentary materials and security-camera footage exist, and stating the trial’s nullity stemmed from the judge’s actions.
- The jury de enjuiciamiento held a new hearing in La Plata to order evidence and witness lists, with the defense moving to admit messages and testimony tied to the documentary inquiry.
