Viviane Aleyda Morales Hoyos (born 17 March 1962) was the 7th Attorney General of Colombia and the first woman to hold that post.[1] She was elected by the Supreme Court of Justice out of a list of three candidates presented by President Juan Manuel Santos Calderón that also included Juan Carlos Esguerra Portocarrero and Carlos Gustavo Arrieta Padilla. On 2 March 2012, she resigned days after her election as Attorney General was invalidated by the Council of State due to irregularities in her election.[2] Her resignation was accepted on 5 March 2012 by the Supreme Court.[3]

Currently, she's part of the Colombian Senate since 2014. She was elected for a term of four years with possibility of unlimited reelection.
