Corruption in Ecuador / Panama Papers: repercussions in Ecuador
Posted On 21 Dec 2016
The dissemination of the so-called ‘Panama Papers‘ case, which came to light on April 3, revealed several names of officials and former public officials of the current administration of Ecuador, including Pedro Delgado, former President of the Central Bank; Galo Chiriboga, attorney general, who denied having bank accounts in tax havens, but admitted that he had initiated the process of closing a Panamanian firm that owns his house in Quito.
The legal secretary of the Presidency, Alexis Mera, ruled out that government officials have to do with the issue, and President Rafael Correa urged the 6 Ecuadorian journalists who participated in the investigation to deliver the information, something that was denied by the International Consortium. The Prosecutor’s Office for its part raided a consulting firm with alleged links with Monsack Fonseca.
