Ratifican pena de 3 años de cárcel a alcalde de Guayaquil por no usar grillete electrónico

An Ecuadorian court has ratified a three-year prison sentence against Aquiles Alvarez, the jailed mayor of Guayaquil. The ruling stems from his failure to use an electronic ankle monitor.

Alvarez is recognized as one of the primary political opponents of Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa. The decision by the tribunal upholds the previously imposed prison term for the Guayaquil mayor.
