QUITO (Reuters) – Ecuador’s former vice president Jorge Glas was taken to hospital earlier this week following a suicide attempt, former President Rafael Correa said in a message on X on Wednesday, which was confirmed by Glas’ lawyer Sonia Vera.
Glas, already twice convicted of corruption and now facing fresh charges, was arrested on Friday after a raid by police on Mexico’s Quito embassy, where he had been living since December.
