The Jury for the Prosecution of Magistrates (JEM) has not reviewed the complaint against deputy prosecutor Soledad Machuca since October 2023. She is accused of shelving the investigation into the allegedly fake law degree of former Colorado Party senator Hernán Rivas. The accusation, filed by deputies from the National Crusade Party, was nearly dismissed in August 2025, but a request from Supreme Court Justice Manuel Ramírez Candia suspended the decision. The case has not been rescheduled since.
