The
Chief Prosecutor's office requested on Tuesday the “preventive
detention” of former president Rafael Correa
The
National Justice Court of Ecuador approved preventive detention for
former Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa.
The
Chief Prosecutor's office requested on Tuesday the “preventive
detention” of Correa, currently residing in Belgium, and ordered
Interpol to be notified for his capture and extradition.
The
court is accusing the former president, who led a popular progressive
political movement called the “Citizens' Revolution” in Ecuador
for a decade, of “illicit association” and the kidnapping of
Fernando Balda. Evidence has yet to be publicized for these
accusations.
Correa
tweeted that the Chief Prosecutor has breached the National
Assembly's mandate by requesting preventive detention without
“providing a single piece of evidence.”
“How
much success will this farce have at the international level?”
Correa said. “Don't worry, everything is a matter of time. We will
overcome!”
