The legal proceedings concerning Judge Nubia Vera of the Pichincha Family, Childhood, and Adolescence Unit are intensifying as the court has conducted hearings related to the alleged crime of concussion in the Mueble Fino case. On February 26, 2026, the preparatory trial session resumed at the Northern Judicial Complex in Quito, where the Prosecutor's Office presented its case along with the defense's arguments. The prosecutor reiterated its request that Judge Vera be called to trial, citing her as a direct author of the alleged offenses.

In the recent proceedings, the Prosecutor's Office presented over 55 pieces of evidence to substantiate their claim against Judge Vera, indicating serious allegations that could affect her career and the integrity of the judiciary. Alongside the call for trial, the prosecution has also pushed for additional measures, which include a prohibition on Vera leaving the country and requiring her to make regular court appearances, highlighting the serious nature of the charges she faces.

This case follows earlier events beginning on August 5, 2025, indicating a long-running investigation that has generated significant public interest and concern over corruption within the judiciary. The outcome of the judge's decision will not only impact Vera's future but may also reflect broader issues regarding judicial accountability in Ecuador.
