Makintach Files Criminal Complaint Alleging Planted Video in Maradona Case Investigation

She asks that a different judicial district handle the complaint to ensure impartiality.

Overview

  • Through lawyer Darío Saldaño, the filing was presented to Procurador General Julio Conte Grand and accuses San Isidro prosecutors of falsedad ideológica, abuso de autoridad, and concealment or destruction of evidence.
  • The defense contests a May 27 act that added a video shown by Ministry of Public officials, saying it entered the file via an external link without chain of custody and is therefore unusable.
  • Makintach claims she was targeted by illegal surveillance and says her phone was cloned.
  • Her esthetician denies knowing the official who presented the video, Marina Rodríguez, or having supplied the material.
  • In parallel, the jury process has suspended Makintach with 40% pay and is set to resume a key hearing on Wednesday, while prosecutors José Amallo, Cecilia Chaieb and Carolina Asprella lead the related case.
