Ramiro Riaño Riaño

Ramiro Riaño Riaño is a magistrate at the Superior Court of Bogotá, Colombia. He gained attention recently for his involvement in a legal case concerning former President Álvaro Uribe, specifically regarding a tutela (a legal action) filed by Uribe's defense team to suspend his house arrest. Riaño had previously declared himself impeded to hear the case due to potential conflicts of interest, citing that his partner was appointed to a position by a figure considered a victim in Uribe's case. This situation raised questions about judicial impartiality and the handling of the case, particularly in the context of Uribe's controversial legal challenges.
