The scandal was close to exploding. Investigation into an alleged documentary in which the details of the trial were supposed to be recounted, in which an attempt was made to determine whether there were criminal responsibilities in the death Diego Armando Maradona With the excellent participation of Judge Julietta McIntash, she advanced. But the judge denied this in front of her colleagues in the court in charge of the debate, Maximiliano Savarino and Veronica Di Tommaso.
“I take responsibility for my naivety and misplaced good intentions. It is a red flag for me from now on. I am confident that I can learn from this, without a doubt that he will! I hope you can rest easy.”Judge McIntash wrote last Saturday, May 17, at 1:14 p.m. In a WhatsApp group called Juicio DAM (by Diego Armando Maradona) which I shared with Savarino and Di Tomaso.
A few minutes ago, Savarino wrote: “I’m very upset. What you’re looking for is a proper oral trial. Have a good weekend.”
Two days ago, an investigation into the alleged documentary began, after a complaint filed by lawyers Fernando Borlando and Mario Brodyrepresentatives of Dalma and Giannina Maradonaand Veronica Ojedarespectively. On that day, during the hearing, María Lea Aleman (a close friend of McIntash) and Juan Manuel D’Emilio were identified in the audience, and were later identified as the screenwriters Divine justiceas the documentary was named.
On Monday the nineteenth, according to the chats he was able to access NationMcIntash wrote to his colleagues at 10:47. “Good morning. If you’re available, I’ll come.”
But his colleagues were busy, according to the replies they sent. De Tommaso was on trial and Savarino was serving a sentence for debate.
On May 20, the main hearing in Maradona’s canceled trial, an early exchange of letters began. McIntash wrote at 7:15: “Good morning. I understand that you are upset and upset about issues related to me. But I have not done anything wrong. I have not sold a documentary, nor are there any processes or contracts with production companies, nor any of the crimes they are deliberately ascribing to me for polluting the field, because of course they negotiate everything from behind the scenes, and the trial, the legality, and the truth don’t matter much to them at all.”
Makintach’s WhatsApp messages continued. “I apologize again and hope that you as colleagues can take care of me and protect the legitimacy of the discussion between the three,” was the conversation sent by the judge at 7:18.
At one point, McIntash told her colleagues that she was meeting with Rafael Sal Lasre (former San Isidro Guarantees judge), who advised her against excusing herself. “I hope you hear that,” he asked. De Tomaso replied: “It seems to me that it is not necessary at the moment. I also believe that you can consult with everyone whom you consider to be an authority. Now I am waiting for these days to pass.” I’d better be carefulSavarino agreed.
On that day, after a request from Patricio Ferrari, one of the prosecutors in San IsidroThe trial was suspended for a week to determine the progress of the criminal case regarding the documentary Public Prosecutor Cecilia Al-Shayeb, Carolina Asprilla and Jose Amalo.
On May 21, at 5:20 p.m., with the trial pending, McIntash wrote to the group: “I regret it to no end. But I cannot turn back time, so I must defend myself with the conviction that I have not committed any crime and that this complaint is not a reason to step down. If they file a complaint to remove a judge, let them choose who governs them.”.
Six minutes later, Savarino sent the following message: “I would prefer that we meet on Monday. Tomorrow I must devote myself to other issues. In addition, next Tuesday (the day the suspension of the debate ended), I will read a sentence from the Trial of One Person. It seems wise to wait until Monday to meet.”
Di Tomaso then wrote: “I agree with Maxi. At the moment there is nothing new in the case. Let’s wait and see what happens these days.”
At 5:40 p.m., McIntash sent another message: “I’m sorry you’re going through this because of me! There’s a lot to learn. A lot. (I hope I get a chance to prove it.) See you Monday. I’ll look forward to the news.”
On Saturday, May 24, the judge sitting on the bench sent her fellow Justices A connection From a note Nation A document submitted in the criminal case by her friend “La Negra” Aleman, in which she denied producing a documentary film, stated: “It was just an interview with her role as a woman and a judge.”.
He added in the next message, which he wrote at 12:02: “I know that we will meet on Monday. But I would like to send you news of the criminal case. And the reasons why I will not accept to step down.” I’m so sorry about all this. I don’t have enough life to apologize for causing all this. “I hope the debate and institutions can withstand this attack.”
On Sunday, May 25, the messages began before dawn. McIntash was sent to the second WhatsApp group Links Clarin Reviews at Infobae. One headline announced that Maradona’s family would push for a political trial against them.
Then, at 6:30, he sent the following text: “Sorry. I can’t sleep. The idea of a political trial, not only against me, but against you as well, suggests the three of us should come together to solve this problem together. I assure you that we as a court can handle this, but I want you to give me this opportunity. They are forcing us to withdraw from the trial, and are seeking to cancel it, at any cost. I swear to you that there is no crime or crime.” A reason for the jury to be disqualified or disqualified and that the trial can continue normally within the debating chamber. But the three of us have to solve the problem together, there is no other solution. They can meet today. It is extremely urgent to stop this nonsense“.
At 9:59 there was another message from McIntash: “It would be healthy and far-sighted for us to come together to decide what position the court will take. I am willing to go where you tell me at your appointed time.” He added in another text: “There is no crime, there is no violation.”.
At 10:10, De Tomaso responded with a strong message: “I saw this last night (about the jury being hyped by the Maradona family).” It is a real shame, because neither Maximiliano nor I have committed anything questionable. I am unavailable for personal reasons. Moreover, I will not do anything else that would conflict with my spirit, and my only concern today is to have time to clarify things. I answered out of politeness. And that’s all I have to say“.
Eight minutes later, McIntash wrote: “Thank you for the reply. It’s all (capitals are the original message) a real disgrace. I have not committed a questionable act. I have only agreed in good faith to a justice-related interview intended to publish an image completely contrary to what appears (what an irony!). There were no promises, no perks, no influences, no interest, no money, no production companies, nothing unusual that could constitute a crime. And after the first day where filming took place it was “
McIntash continued: “I beg you tomorrow, let us come together to determine the situation. We cannot improvise in the face of the clear mechanisms of oppression and defamation in circulation. We have to put the death of Maradona and the impartiality of the court at the forefront of the discussion, which everyone seems to forget. The last thing I say and I will not bother you anymore: the only solution to all this public ridicule is to continue the discussion, confident that the center will return attention to Maradona and the trial will take place normally, and we still have four months to do and fix it.”
Savarino and Di Tomaso did not respond until Monday. “Good morning. I am in court. When I finish I will leave for personal reasons,” was the message sent by the judge. “I will not convene today. I must finish the sentence that will be read tomorrow, in a one-person oral trial,” the judge wrote.
In response to the responses, McIntash said: “I hope they will not be brought to court tomorrow because of dark and malicious interests. It is up to just the three of us to protect justice and the judicial function so that this debate continues to the end. That is what the world expects. This is what justice deserves. And I regret that I have jeopardized it.”
Finally, the next day, the Attorney General’s Office presented compelling evidence about the project Divine justice After all parties (the prosecution, the private prosecution, and the defense of McIntash) objected, the judge was removed from the discussion, and Savarino and Di Tomaso declared a mistrial..
Today, McIntash faces a jury that could end up impeaching him.
