The Ecuadorian Foreign Ministry asks to enter the Mexican Embassy to capture Jorge Glas. The former vice president has two sentences for corruption and faces a new case for embezzlement.
The Foreign Ministry, in at least six letters, has supported that the political asylum requested by Glas not be granted. For Ecuador, “the granting of diplomatic asylum would not be lawful, under the provisions of Article III of the 1954 Convention on Diplomatic Asylum,” according to a document sent on February 29.
