The text reads, GUIlLERMO LASSO || after giving a brief account in which he acknowledged having signed decree 294 for the formation of the Prison Pacification Commission with high-profile professionals, REFUSED to answer questions from this technical defense, partially taking advantage of the right to silence, in a clear obstruction to justice.
According to the results obtained by the efforts of the Ecuadorian prosecutor’s office and police, the criminal network was at all social levels and involved judges, politicians, businessmen and important figures of the country.
One of the ways to offer fiscal impunity as well as amenities and privileges to Norero was the Dialogue Commission.
According to the prosecutor who directs the case, Diana Salazar, “The Metastasis case is a clear x-ray of how drug trafficking has taken over state institutions”.
