Former Ecuadorian President Abdalá Bucaram (who served from 1996 to 1997) announced on Thursday that he will appeal his recent conviction and seek to annul his trial by taking his case to international instances. Bucaram defended his position by declaring that "there is no crime here."
The conviction involves both the former president and his son, Jacobo Bucaram. While one report identifies the ruling as stemming from organized crime charges, another specifies a sentence of nine years and four months in prison related to the irregular commercialization and fraud involving COVID-19 tests.
