Ex-Ecuadorian leader gets 5-year term over corruption
A verdict has been issued sentencing former Ecuadorian President Lenín Moreno (73 years old) to five years in prison for his conviction of accepting bribes from a Chinese company in exchange for assistance in securing a contract to build a hydropower plant. Moreno, who suffers from a disability that prevents him from walking, will serve his sentence under house arrest. He is the third former president to be convicted of corruption in the country, despite being tried for crimes committed before his presidency. Additionally, his wife, daughter, two brothers, and son-in-law were found guilty of complicity and sentenced to 30 months in prison, with the obligation to pay back three times the amount of illicit funds they received within 90 days.
