The president confessed to appointing 50 judges suspected of corruption under pressure by the justice system.

"The CSPJ entrusted me with a list of judges, because you know that it is the President of the Republic who must sign," President Jovenel explained. "Since I had learned that there was an ongoing vetting, I was waiting for the report before signing. From my sources, I learned that there were about 50 judges suspected of corruption. I waited for a month. It [the report] never reached me until today. It was on the radio that I learned that I did not want to publish the list of judges.
