Maradona Trial Fallout Deepens: Lawyer Seeks Charges for Two Judges as Jury Weighs Case Against Makintach

The push rests on Makintach’s assertion that filming during the hearings was known, even consented to, by her colleagues.

Overview

  • Plaintiff-lawyer Rodolfo Baqué asked prosecutors to formally impute judges Maximiliano Savarino and Verónica Di Tomasso in the criminal probe over a proposed documentary tied to the annulled trial.
  • The request cites Julieta Makintach’s defense before the provincial jury, where she denied clandestine filming and said the recordings were known and approved within the tribunal.
  • Makintach has referenced WhatsApp chats to support her account, but sources indicate those messages have not been presented in the criminal case handled by prosecutors José Amallo, Carolina Asprella and Cecilia Chaieb.
  • On Tuesday, jurors in La Plata convene an admissibility hearing to decide if the disciplinary case against Makintach proceeds, as her defense files challenges over jury composition and alleged partiality.
  • Case files note that Savarino and Di Tomasso did not file complaints or join as accusers, a point Baqué frames as incriminating, while testimony also describes internal disputes on the bench during the now-voided proceedings linked to the 'Justicia Divina' project.
