World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported6m ago
On September 7, Ecuadorian judicial authorities addressed separate legal proceedings involving two former presidents. A tribunal began evaluating a request from former president Lenín Moreno (2017-2021) to suspend his five-year prison sentence related to bribery charges. The hearing, which included a statement from the Prosecutor's Office, was subsequently suspended.
In a separate matter, a tribunal in Guayaquil rejected a habeas corpus petition filed by former president Abdalá Bucaram (1996-1997). The petition sought to prevent the execution of an arrest warrant issued to ensure his appearance at a judicial hearing.
