Overview
- An electrical failure and water leak cut short Friday’s hearing in the Buenos Aires Senate annex, pushing the testimony of judges Maximiliano Savarino and Verónica Di Tomasso to Monday.
- Prosecutor José Amallo testified that scripts and accounting seized at the production company outlined a six-episode plan with commercial goals and that Julieta Makintach made production decisions.
- Judge Ariel Introzzi told the panel that Makintach denied the documentary’s existence after the scandal and described a clandestine Sunday entry to set up filming inside San Isidro courts.
- The jury refused the defense request to introduce WhatsApp messages purportedly showing colleagues’ prior knowledge, ruling the evidence was submitted outside the permitted window.
- Makintach remains suspended with reduced pay as a parallel criminal probe continues against her and producers, and the nullified Maradona case is scheduled to be retried in March 2026.
