Jorge Díaz Reverón is a Puerto Rican judge. He was the first First Gentleman of Puerto Rico and the husband of Wanda Vázquez Garced. At the time, Díaz Reverón served as a superior court judge in Caguas.
Díaz Reverón graduated in 1987 from the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico School of Law. He began serving as a judge in December 2009 under the administration of Governor Luis Fortuño.[1] He was a superior court trial judge in criminal matters at Caguas, Puerto Rico.[2]
In December 2018, amid concerns of unlawful intervention on behalf of his wife, then Attorney General Wanda Vázquez Garced, Díaz Reverón was removed from the chamber.[1][3] The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico, ordered an investigation based on judicial ethical concerns which later found no probable cause.[4]
He became the first First Gentleman of Puerto Rico on August 7, 2019.[2] In 2021 governor Pedro Pierluisi ascended him to an appeals court a move which his wife had considered while she was governor.[5][6]
