The member of the Third Chamber became the second judge to be expelled from the Judiciary by her own peers in almost a quarter of a century, once again bringing to the fore the case of Luis Correa Bulo, who underwent the same process in April 2001.
The Supreme Court resolved this Thursday, by unanimous vote, the removal of Minister Ángela Vivanco, accusing a “pattern of behavior” for the intervention of various judicial cases.
With this, the member of the Third Chamber became the second judge to be expelled from the Judiciary by her own peers in almost a quarter of a century, bringing back to the fore the case of Luis Correa Bulo, who underwent the same process in April 2001, accused of ethical misconduct.
The removal document against Correa Bulo was unanimously approved by the Plenary Session of the Supreme Court, due to a series of acts, which date back to 1992, when pressured a judge to expedite the closure of a massage parlor. Two years later, he was part of a meeting to finalize the sale of the Concepción market, despite it being in judicial proceedings.
However, the most controversial performance of Judge Luis Correa Bulo occurred in 1996, when He took a series of steps to prevent his sister from being accused of trafficking controlled drugs, to which was added the trip to Cuba with complimentary tickets.
These events ended up putting an end to his time in the Supreme Court, to which was added a constitutional accusation against him, like Ángela Vivanco, presented by the then deputies Jaime Orpis, Francisco Bartolucci, Julio Dittborn, Alejandro García Huidobro, by influence peddling and neglect of duties.
On May 7, 2012, former minister Luis Correa Bulo died at the age of 78, as a result of cancer.
