Cristina Lombana faces investigation over Martha Peralta case
Magistrate Cristina Lombana of the Supreme Court of Justice is facing scrutiny after four fellow magistrates from the Special Instruction Chamber requested an investigation into her conduct. The request, directed to the Chamber of Representatives' Commission of Accusations and the Attorney General's Office, alleges potential irregularities in her handling of the judicial process involving Senator Martha Peralta.
Lombana has defended her actions, asserting that her decisions were legally sound and supported by constitutional judges. She denied any wrongdoing and claimed her decisions were subject to technical examination. Furthermore, Lombana alleged that she has been the target of attacks and that four of the five male magistrates in her chamber have repeatedly voted to remove her from sensitive and high-profile cases.
The controversy has drawn political attention, with former President Gustavo Petro accusing Lombana of conducting political persecution against Senator Peralta. The investigation aims to determine if Lombana's exercise of coercive powers or her management of the case compromised the right to a defense and due process guarantees.
