Ecuador prosecutor seeks 24-hour detention for mayor Zamora on flight risk

Ecuador's prosecution has requested a 24-hour detention for Cristian Zamora, citing flight risk, four days after seeking a formal hearing to charge him with alleged illicit enrichment. The move signals an escalation in the legal proceedings against the mayor, though the specific evidence and timeline remain unclear. This development adds to political instability in Ecuador, where corruption cases against officials are closely watched.
