Prosecutors in San Isidro have asked that Julieta Makintach, the judge who caused the dramatic collapse of the trial into the 2020 death of football legend Diego Maradona, face impeachment proceedings on a number of charges. Makintach, 47, has been indicted by prosecutors for the crimes of passive bribery, breach of a public servant’s duties and abuse of authority, embezzlement of public funds and influence-peddling. Makintach resigned her post in June ahead of likely impeachment proceedings. She initially denied any wrongdoing, but after police raids and a week-long suspension of trial proceedings, evidence came to light that brought the magistrate’s conduct into question. They requested impeachment proceedings proceed and that her judicial immunity be withdrawn in order for the case to progress.
