Corte Suprema condenó a exmagistrado de Bogotá que buscó ‘salvar’ a un exalcalde condenado: pagará multa, prisión y quedó inhabilitado

The Corte Suprema de Justicia in Colombia has convicted José Albino Ibagué, a former magistrate of the Sala Jurisdiccional Disciplinaria del Consejo Seccional de la Judicatura de Bogotá, for the crime of prevaricato por acción. As a result of the ruling, Ibagué faces a prison sentence, a financial fine, and disqualification from holding public office.

The conviction stems from Ibagué's actions while in office, specifically an attempt to protect a previously convicted former mayor.
