If I find out that a judge has committed a criminal offense, can I personally initiate the issue of his liability, or do I need to contact any authorities?
Can a judge be held accountable?

A judge may be held disciplinary or criminally liable for disciplinary offenses and misconduct (for example, receiving an undue advantage). In particular, a judge may be held disciplinary if he violates the requirements established by law regarding the content of a court decision, fails to assess the arguments of the parties, fails to properly justify his decision, etc.
