A few days before the ministers of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation must elect their next president, Yasmín Esquivel was accused of plagiarism.
She is one of five ministers who have expressed interest in heading the country’s highest court of justice. The others are Alfredo Gutiérrez Mena, Javier Laynez Potisek, Alberto Pérez Dayan and Norma Lucía Piña Hernández.
The vote will take place on January 2 and the minister who is elected will be in the presidency of the Court until 2027.
Esquivel Mossa has already filed a complaint with the authorities for the alleged plagiarism of which he would have been a victim.
