Ecuador prosecutor’s office investigates SNAI for crime of Colombian inmates
October 9 |
Ecuador’s Attorney General’s Office announced Saturday that it has initiated an investigation into the responsibility of the National Service of Attention to Persons Deprived of Liberty (SNAI) in the death of the six Colombians detained for the murder of presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio.
In a statement, the Public Prosecutor’s Office announced that for security reasons it had issued an order to transfer these persons deprived of liberty to a more secure prison, which was not complied with.
The six detainees were killed this Friday in the Penitenciaría del Litoral (Guayas I), in Guayaquil. Another detainee, of Ecuadorian nationality, who was also being investigated for his connection to Villavicencio’s death, died on Saturday in El Inca prison, in Quito.
The Colombians were in pavilions 7 and 9 of said prison, where on Friday violent events took place, in the middle of which they lost their lives.
The Prosecutor’s Office stated that it will investigate the actions of the SNAI with the intention of determining who failed to comply with the judicial order to protect the inmates, whose lives were in danger. According to press reports, the prisoners themselves had requested their transfer to a safer prison.
In addition, the Prosecutor’s Office reported that a chief and two guards of the Penitenciaría del Litoral were taken to the flagrancy unit of the Prosecutor’s Office of the Cuartel Modelo to take their statements.
The bodies of the deceased were taken to Medicina Legal for autopsies and to identify the causes of death.
Through social networks, a police report has been disseminated that shows that this force showed up last Thursday at the Guayas I Prison to carry out the transfer of the prisoners and left the place after its subrogating director, José M. (now arrested and under investigation), stated that he did not have any document from SNAI with information about the transfer.

Zelenski urges global action after russian ballistic missile strike
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenski called on the international community Thursday to “respond” to Russia’s ballistic missile strike on Ukraine, which he said has heightened the “escalation and brutality” of the conflict.
“The world must react. So far, there has been no strong response,” Zelenski lamented in a social media statement.
“We must act. We must pressure. We must push Russia towards real peace, which is only achievable through strength,” he added.
Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed Thursday that Russia had launched a new type of hypersonic ballistic missile against Ukraine in its “non-nuclear configuration.”

Elon Musk plans sweeping cuts to U.S. bureaucracy and spending
Elon Musk has pledged massive cuts to government programs, subsidies, and bureaucracy in his anticipated role as a “State Efficiency” leader, according to an article published Wednesday in The Wall Street Journal.
The billionaire entrepreneur plans to target hundreds of billions of dollars in federal spending, including funds for public broadcasting and Planned Parenthood. Musk called government bureaucracy an “existential threat” to American democracy.
Teaming up with fellow businessman and Trump ally Vivek Ramaswamy, Musk aims to streamline federal regulations and implement significant administrative and cost reductions.
“We are entrepreneurs, not politicians. We will serve as external volunteers, not federal officials or employees,” Musk and Ramaswamy stated in the article.

Putin warns of escalation, suggests strikes on western weapon suppliers
Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that the conflict in Ukraine is taking on the characteristics of a “global war,” warning that Russia might target Western nations supplying Ukraine with weapons used in attacks on Russian territory.
These remarks come after a day of heightened tensions, during which Russia launched a state-of-the-art medium-range missile designed to carry a nuclear warhead. However, this particular missile was loaded with conventional explosives.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the missile strike, calling it the action of a “deranged neighbor” using Ukraine as a “military testing ground.”
Earlier, Ukraine accused Russia of attacking the central-eastern city of Dnipro with a missile exhibiting “all the characteristics” of an intercontinental missile, an unprecedented development in the ongoing conflict.
