Wanted man captured in Guayaquil on Interpol notice following deportation from the United States
The National Police detained in Guayaquil Jhonny A.C., an Ecuadorian citizen who was registered with an Interpol Red Notice and an active arrest warrant for alleged sexual abuse, according to a statement from the Interior Ministry on Saturday, 7 November. The man had been deported from the United States prior to his arrest.
According to eltelegrafo.com.ec, the individual was being sought by the Judicial Unit for Violence against Women and Family. Upon entering the country, agents immediately executed the pending judicial order and placed him at the disposal of the competent authority to continue criminal proceedings.
The authorities stated that the detention was made possible through mechanisms of international police cooperation, used to locate and coordinate the return of individuals sought by Ecuadorian justice who are outside the country.
The Interpol Red Notice allows the police forces of member countries to be asked to locate and provisionally detain a wanted person, based on a judicial order issued by the requesting country. Interpol clarifies that this mechanism does not by itself constitute an international arrest warrant, as each nation acts in accordance with its own legislation.
This is not the first recent case of this kind in Ecuador. On 26 October, police detained at Guayaquil airport another citizen, also deported from the United States, who maintained an Interpol red alert and was sought for an alleged crime against the sexual integrity of a minor in the province of Cotopaxi. This is a separate case from that of Jhonny A.C.
