Brother of Justice Minister Aspires to Be Attorney General

Esteban Aguilar, who previously led the Cybercrime Unit, has declared his intention to compete for the position of Attorney General of the Republic. Aguilar, currently serving in a trusted role within the General Management of the ICE, will only pursue this candidacy if the Plenary Court decides to open the official selection process.

Aguilar's potential bid for the top prosecutor role comes at a time when the country is preparing to choose its next Attorney General. His background as a former prosecutor, particularly his experience heading the Cybercrime Unit, positions him as a candidate with specific expertise in a critical area of law enforcement.

The article notes that Aguilar is the brother of the current Minister of Justice, a detail that may add a layer of political consideration to his potential candidacy. The process for selecting the Attorney General is overseen by the Plenary Court, which must first initiate the concurso, or open competition, for the position.
