Had the former judge refuse to resign, he would (i believe) be
removed from office by a tribunal. Would he, then, be prosecuted?
Having been removed from office by a tribunal has similar effect (to
his "future")  as made to resign. Does that mean that all judges are
immuned to criminal proceedings?
