Former President Moreno convicted by Ecuadorian court for receipt of bribes
A court has found former Ecuadorian president Lenín Moreno guilty of having received bribes during his term in office, according to Google News ES — Crime (es) citing the newspaper ABC.
Moreno, who governed Ecuador between 2017 and 2021, thus faces a judicial conviction for corruption following the ruling issued by the competent court. The case forms part of an investigation into illicit payments received by the former president in the exercise of his duties.
The sentence represents a milestone in the fight against corruption in Ecuador, where several former officials have faced legal proceedings in recent years. Moreno's defence has not issued a public statement immediately following the verdict, according to information available at the present time.
