In a Miami Trial Pedro Delgado says he’s not an Economist

The current president of the Central Bank and legal representative of Management Unit of Public Law (Ugedep), Pedro Delgado, admitted in a testimony under oath, in Miami, United States, that he has no university title in Ecuador.

This news confirms the accusation made by the independent assemblymen, Enrique Herreria to the prosecutor office, last Tuesday (November 20), in the sense that Delgado committed a felony against the public faith, for occupying charges that by law demand a third degree title.

When Delgado was asked about how a person with no third degree can obtain a masters degree (a fourth degree title), the ‘economist’ assured that he made through an “authorization,” although he did not say by who.

Afterwards he was asked if he ended his studies in some university of Ecuador, Delgado said, “that in the Universidad Catolica.” However, according with two certificates given by the Universidad Catolica of Quito and Guayaquil, the cousin of the Ecuadorian president Rafael Correa did not obtained his title in any of those academic institutions.
