A Colombian judge has been suspended for three months after she appeared on Zoom during a court hearing in her underwear, according to reports. Vivian Polania could be seen lying on a bed and smoking a cigarette during the hearing about whether a man being held over a car bomb terror attack should be granted bail. A lawyer filed a formal complaint about the incident, with a 33-second clip of Polania’s gaffe going viral on social media. The judge has previously faced scrutiny in Colombia media over racy pictures she would post of herself on her Instagram account. “Not all judges, lawyers and other state employees are the same,” she said in defense of her posts at the time, according to the Daily Mail.
En un video que circula por WhatsApp se ve a la jueza Vivian Polanía (trabaja en el Palacio de Justicia de Cúcuta) atendiendo una diligencia judicial en su cama, semidesnuda y fumando. No sé si esto pueda acarrearle alguna sanción, pero al menos el escándalo ya está servido. pic.twitter.com/9rgNx4C6pV
