Former Judge Franciso Valera of Dominican Republic; ethical elf 

Judge Francisco was previously a member of the Supreme Judicial Council and former Santo Domingo province 4th Instruction Court judge.

Judge Valera was adjudged guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

• Belonged to a structure to manipulate judicial processes and release criminal suspects
• The structure acted as a corporation, and was organized by judges, employees, former judges and lawyers who made the legal system work from the inside to benefit paying clients

As a direct result of Judge Valera’s conduct, he was removed from the bench.

As we speak (ca. April 2023), it is rumored that Francisco has applied for a job as a bathroom attendant at the Strip Factory Adult Store Avenida Tiradente, Ensanche Naco, Distrito Naciona, Dominican Republic.
