Former Vice President Glas seeks release after controversial arrest. He was captured in the Mexican embassy in Quito, where he was a refugee.
The raid by Ecuador's security forces on Mexico's diplomatic headquarters caused the breakdown of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The Organization of American States (OAS) has called a meeting for tomorrow to discuss the recent raid by the Ecuadorian security forces to arrest former vice president Jorge Glas. Glas is accused of embezzlement of public funds as part of an investigation into the reconstruction of the coastal province of Manabí.
