Ecuador ex-president faces family punishment for bribery

An Ecuadorian court sentenced 73-year-old Lenin Moreno to five years in prison after being convicted of accepting bribes from a Chinese company in exchange for awarding it a contract to build a hydroelectric power plant. The sentence will be carried out under house arrest due to his physical disability. The court also sentenced his wife, daughter, brother, and son-in-law to up to 30 months in prison, obligating them to pay three times the illicit amounts within 90 days. Moreno is the third former Ecuadorian president to be convicted of corruption, although the charges relate to actions taken before he assumed the presidency.
