Ecuador orders detention of ex-president Bucaram in organized crime case

Ecuadorian authorities ordered the detention of former President Abdalá Bucaram in an organized crime case involving alleged illicit economic benefits, alongside his son Jacobo and others. The Prosecutor's Office is auditing medical reports, suggesting a possible attempt to avoid detention on health grounds. This marks a notable legal action against a former head of state, though the case is at an early stage and details remain limited.
