Head of the Office of the Attorney General of Colombia

The Attorney General of Colombia (Attorney General of the Nation) is the head of the Attorney General's Office of the Nation of Colombia and the principal law enforcement official. The attorney general acts as the main head of criminal prosecution in all legal matters, with administrative and budgetary autonomy. The attorney general is a member of the Judicial Branch.[1]

The attorney general is elected by the Supreme Court of Justice from a list of three nominees selected by the president, and serves for four years, with no possibility of re-election.[2]

The attorney general is elected by Constitutional Court out of a ternary presented by the president for a period of four years. To cast the final vote, the Supreme Court of Justice must meet a quorum of 16 out of the possible 23 votes, i.e. two thirds of the votes.[5][6]
