Ecuador lawyer denies being 'Barbón Chiquito' but linked to Norero operator

Eduardo Lascano, lawyer for state utility Celec, denies Mayra Salazar's 2024 identification of him as 'Barbón Chiquito' in a corruption network, but does not clarify his relationship with Xavier Novillo Arana, a key operator for convicted drug trafficker Norero. The denial without explanation raises questions about his involvement in the ongoing corruption case.
