Overview

• The Supreme Court confirmed Moreno submitted his resignation on September 29 and set it to take effect on October 1, which Minister President Hugo Aguilar accepted.
• In his letter, Moreno said September 26 publications harmed his reputation and stated he has not been notified of any sanction or legal requirement related to alleged misconduct.
• He said the decision aims to avoid reputational damage to the Court as he pursues legal action against those he says defamed him.
• Proceso reported that SNA president Vania Pérez notified the Court about an investigation into Moreno, a claim Moreno rejects by asserting he has received no formal notice.
• Moreno had been appointed to Aguilar’s team only weeks earlier, following a February exit from the SNA that drew coverage of alleged irregularities and a disputed account of events.
