Ex-Ecuador President Gets 9 Years
Abdullah Bokram, the former president of Ecuador, and his son have been sentenced to 9 years and 4 months in prison for corruption related to the illegal sale of medical supplies during the COVID-19 pandemic. The court issued the verdict remotely from a hospital in Guayaquil, where he is receiving treatment for heart problems, under tight security. The court convicted Bokram and his son of participating in organized criminal activity. The case concerning the sale of medical supplies had been ongoing for six years, and the judiciary's prosecution had appealed the ruling that had dropped the charges against him in 2021.
