Twenty (20)\u00a0out of the 21 lower court judges\u00a0indicted in the recent judicial\u00a0corruption\u00a0scandal, exposed by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, have been removed from office.<\/p>\n

Some of the judges were removed with their end of service paid, but others were not given.<\/p>\n

But one of them was left off the hook, since according to the Judicial Council he was mistakenly added to the list. This brought the number to 21.<\/p>\n

Some 22 lower court judges\u00a0and 12 High Court judges were captured in Anas\u2019 two-year investigative piece, allegedly taking bribes to subvert justice.<\/p>\n

Below is the full list of lower court judges removed with and without benefits.<\/p>\n
