Overview

• Judge Julieta Makintach submitted a nearly 30-page defense to the provincial Jury of Prosecution asserting there was no prohibited filming and that TOC No. 3 colleagues knew and consented.
• Her filing denies promoting or participating in a documentary and attributes the project idea to third parties, while indicating WhatsApp chats among judges could support her account.
• San Isidro judges Alberto Ortolani, Gonzalo Aquino and Marcela López Ramos upheld the rejection of recusals against Alberto Gaig and Pablo Rolón, confirming them to TOC No. 7 with Ortolani.
• The newly constituted tribunal will address unresolved matters including the reach of the prior nullity, redistribution of evidence and pending defenses such as ne bis in idem.
• The first trial was voided on May 29 after leaked material tied to a proposed documentary surfaced, and Makintach’s preventive removal and resignation still await final decisions by authorities.
