"The National Government informs the public that Jorge Glas Espinel, sentenced to imprisonment by Ecuadorian justice, has been detained tonight and placed at the disposal of the competent authorities.

➡️ Every embassy has only one purpose: to serve as a diplomatic space with the aim of strengthening relations between countries.

➡️ No criminal can be considered a political persecuted. Jorge Glas has been sentenced with a final judgment and was subject to an arrest warrant issued by the competent authorities.

➡️ Ecuador faces a non-international armed conflict, the repercussions of which on democracy and citizen peace will only be incremental if acts that interfere with the Rule of Law, national sovereignty, or matters of interference in the country's internal affairs continue or are condoned.

➡️ Having abused the immunities and privileges granted to the diplomatic mission that housed Jorge Glas, and granting a diplomatic asylum contrary to the conventional legal framework, his capture has been carried out.

➡️ Ecuador is a sovereign country, and we will not allow any criminal to remain unpunished.

We reiterate our respect for the Mexican people who share our sentiment for the fight against corruption that affects our countries."
