The judge has faced accusations of lacking impartiality, with claims she participated in a documentary project during court proceedings. The hearing restarted after a one-week suspension triggered by an internal investigation. At the beginning of the session, Judge Makintach defended herself, denying any wrongdoing or bias. She dismissed the allegations as "a major media operation." Tensions also escalated outside the courtroom when neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque, one of the main defendants, was assaulted by Maradona fans upon his arrival. The trial continues under intense public scrutiny as it seeks to determine the role of eight medical professionals in the death of the Argentine football icon.
