Decision against judge Julieta Makintach

A special panel composed of judges, lawyers, and provincial legislators removed Julieta Makintach, aged 48, from her position and disqualified her from holding any other judicial office in the future.

Trial annulled and participation in miniseries

Makintach was one of the three judges of the now annulled trial that followed Maradona's death in 2020, while he was recovering from a brain surgery. She recused herself after it came to light that she had been interviewed for a miniseries about the case, which could potentially violate a series of ethical conduct rules.
