Overview
- Giannina and Dalma Maradona told the impeachment jury that Judge Julieta Makintach swore "by her children" no documentary existed about the trial over their father's death.
- Both described anguish over what they viewed as a breach of privacy, saying the project exploited sensitive images and eroded their trust in the court.
- A trailer linked to the documentary shown in court prompted the original trial’s nullification, with a new trial scheduled to start on March 17.
- Creators tied to “Justicia Divina” acknowledged the judge knew about the project, while Makintach denies misconduct, argues the filming was allowed, has submitted her resignation, and remains suspended.
- Closing arguments are slated to begin Thursday with a decision expected next week, and a separate criminal case in San Isidro charges Makintach with passive bribery, breach of duties, abuse of authority, and related offenses.
