Ecuador court nullifies Encuentro trial hearing, awaits guidelines after anti-corruption unit dissolved

The Tribunal in the Encuentro case has nullified the call for a trial hearing, pending 'guidelines' following the dissolution of the anti-corruption unit. Defendants Leonardo Cortázar and Karen Cornejo await trial, while Danilo Carrera and Antonio Izaca will hear appeal responses in two weeks. This procedural delay signals institutional uncertainty in Ecuador's anti-corruption judicial process.
