Ecuador picks up “Veto”, the huge nervous leader in the country Crime news

Jose Adolfo Massias, nicknamed “Veto”, is scheduled to be delivered to the United States for drug smuggling and arms smuggling.

The fleeing leader of Ecuador Los Shuniros was restored nearly 18 months later, according to President Daniel Nuboa.

Jose Adolfo Massias, also known as “FITO”, escaped from Gawayakalest Prison in January 2024, where he was serving a 34 -year prison sentence for trafficking in surgery and murder.

After his arrest, Masas will now be handed over to the United States, where a federal court accused him of drug smuggling and firearm smuggling.

Nubua has previously provided a million dollars to assist in the arrest of Masas and sent thousands of police officers and members of the armed forces to find him.

Nubua said on X.

For those who opposed and complain about the need for solidarity and intelligence laws: thanks to these laws, Fito was arrested today while he was in the hands of the security bloc.

I appreciate the police and the military who participated in this operation. They will fall more, …

According to what was reported, Masias escaped before being transferred to the Aqsa Security Prison, but the authorities have not yet explained how he succeeded.

A successful escape “sparked riots, bombings, bombings, kidnapping, the assassination of a prominent public prosecutor, and an armed attack on a television network during a live broadcast,” according to the United States government, which prompted Nuboa to declare a 60 -day emergency via Ecuador.

The Ecuadorian President has also appointed 22 gangs, including Los Shuniros, as “terrorist groups”.

The US Treasury was separately, MacIas and Los Choneros in February 2024, on charges of drug trafficking and incitement to violence throughout Ecuador.

Ecuador was one day of the most peaceful Latin American countries, but its proximity to Peru and Colombia – the best cocaine producers in the world – made it a major target for criminal groups that lead drugs abroad.

Competition between the competing local gangs, backed by foreign criminal unions from Mexico to Albania, led to an explosion in violence throughout the country.
