Justice. He will replace Alvaro Orlando Pérez, who retired for health
reasons.

Ibáñez was previously an advisory to the House of Representatives and a judge of the Bogotá Supreme Court.

The Boyacá native was also a law professor at Santo Tomás University and specialized in criminal law and criminology.

His election was a surprise, according to Caracol Radio, as he was not a favorite for the position.
