The State Attorney General, Diana Salazar, confronted former President Rafael Correa again this Wednesday, June 5, 2024, about the Bribery case, which has kept him a fugitive from justice for four years.
Salazar broadcast a video on her social networks, recorded weeks ago, in which she spoke of her detractors’ attempts to remove her from office and considered that “the last thing they have left is to come and kill her.”
“This is the price I have had to pay for having touched an untouchable,” said Salazar, against whom the Correísta bench has filed political trials in the Assembly, after failing in an attempt to remove her from the Citizen Participation Council (Cpccs). ).
“The last thing they have left is to come for me, come to kill me, because they have not had the legal tools to remove me from office.”

Salazar also referred to a notebook from Pamela Martínez, Correa’s former collaborator, who was key to the judicial process for a corruption plot that sentenced the former president to eight years in prison.
“It wasn’t just Hello Kitty’s notebook, but several agendas found in Martínez’s apartment after a raid,” explained the Prosecutor.
The reaction of the former president, who remains a refugee in Belgium, was immediate: “He doesn’t even know what the sentence says. It’s simple: allow computer expertise to the supposed computer of Laura Terán, where the green files were “found.” You will see that They were planted in 2019 by orders of this corrupt woman,” he noted in his X account.
For his part, Salazar expressed that he fears that national judges, in extended functions, will be co-opted by those convicted in the Bribery case and “may access to illegally benefit from an appeal for review” of the sentence.
