The decision to suspend the judge comes two years after Vivian spoke out against critics who bombarded her with photos she posted on social media showing her muscles tightened during punishing CrossFit sessions, as well as the tattoos on her back and buttocks in a tiny G string
The publication of the photos in the Colombian media led her bosses to trample her amid claims that she was endangering the administration of justice by eroding public confidence in her ability to do her job well.
Local reports at the time said she was under investigation after she shared cheeky snaps of her in lingerie for clothing discounts.
Vivian responded by insisting she keep posting bold photos on her Instagram, where she describes herself as “braless and open-minded,” insisting, “Not all judges, lawyers and other government employees are created equal.
“What I wear and show on my social media is my decision and I’m not going to change anything.”
Vivian, full name Heidy Vivian Polania Franco, appeared to slur her words on the video of her lying in bed and unconfirmed local reports point to the possibility that the fitness fanatic was tipsy.
She was filmed during a hearing to determine whether a man detained after a terrorist car bomb attack in June last year should be released on bail.

A stunned local who posted the footage to his Twitter feed said in a post alongside it: “In a WhatsApp video doing the rounds, Vivian Polania, who works at the Cucuta Palace of Justice, takes part in a hearing from her bed, semi-nude and smoking.
“I don’t know if this could lead to some kind of sanction, but it will certainly cause controversy.”
Announcing her suspension decision, the Colombian National Commission for Judicial Ethics said in a written statement: “It is the duty of this commission to prevent the judge’s contempt for the inauguration of her position and the contempt she showed towards her colleagues in the public prosecutor’s office, is repeated. , the prosecution and the defense.
“We find no justification for the judge to present herself in such appalling circumstances when she had the facilities of her own home and all the amenities necessary to properly prepare for a public hearing and with the respect that such hearing deserved.”

Vivian, who is educated at a private Catholic university and is based in the town of Cucuta near Colombia’s border with Venezuela, has not yet commented.
In January last year, a lawyer in Peru was caught having sex during a Zoom court hearing after accidentally leaving his camera on.
Amazed court officials watched as Hector Paredes Robles undressed and sat on a chair before a naked brunette, believed to be a client, climbed onto his lap.
Judge John Chahua Torres sent a police officer to intervene when a female assistant tried to warn Paredes Robles that his sex session was being watched and recorded on a live feed.
He later labeled him an embarrassment for his X-rated performance.
