Judge in Maradona trial resigns after documentary scandal

A judge has withdrawn from criminal proceedings relating to the death of Argentine footballer Diego Armando Maradona.

Judge rejected due to possible bias

An Argentine court has removed judge Julieta Makintach after one of the defendants in the Maradona trial asked for her disqualification due to possible bias. The plaintiff also accused her of approving the filming of a documentary during the court hearings.

Judge accepts disqualification

Makintach accepted the court's decision to disqualify her. In a previous hearing, she said her brother was a partner in the production company mentioned in the case. However, she assured that this was unrelated to a potential documentary about Maradona.
