Ecuador court suspends Sinohydro bribery case hearing to weigh sentence suspension requests

An Ecuadorian court has suspended proceedings in the Sinohydro bribery case, linked to the Coca Codo Sinclair hydroelectric project, to deliberate on requests to suspend sentences. The move signals potential leniency for convicted parties, though the outcome remains uncertain. This development could affect perceptions of anti-corruption enforcement in Ecuador's infrastructure sector.
