53 judges sacked in Venezuela
The Supreme Court of Venezuela
sacked 53 judges in five of the
country's 23 states, the El
Universal daily reported on
Thursday.
The inspector general of
tribunals, judge Luis Ortiz,
told the newspaper that the
sacked judges, who are among the
100 judges under investigation,
have been found to be involved
in wrongdoings such as denial of
justice, proceeding delay,
corruption and ties with
drug-trafficking.
Ortiz denied that the dismissals
by the Judicial Commission of
the Supreme Court had a
different purpose.
