Overview
- Sitting judge Maximiliano Savarino testified that Julieta Makintach lied to colleagues and arranged filming for the ‘Justicia Divina’ project without tribunal authorization, calling the episode unprecedented.
- Published chats indicate internal discussions about a camera before recordings, while prosecutors dropped judge Verónica Di Tommaso as a witness and the jury rejected the defense bid to call her.
- Makintach filed a false-testimony complaint against Savarino, then returned to the stand to deny involvement in a documentary, describing it as a friend’s creative project and citing the tribunal secretary’s account of an on-site camera.
- Dalma and Gianinna Maradona were expected to testify Tuesday, but their appearances were postponed to Wednesday as the panel also hears from figures tied to the production.
- The jury, presided over by Hilda Kogan, weighs charges including misconduct, bribery and misuse of public resources after filming led to the nullification of the Maradona trial, with a verdict anticipated within five business days of this week’s summations.
