Segura EP, a public company established in June 2023 under the administration of Aquiles Alvarez, has recently come under governmental intervention as it was alleged to be involved in the dissemination of confidential information. The company was designed as a public law entity with its own legal identity, financial autonomy, and management capabilities to oversee safety and risk management in Guayaquil. This company was initially led by Fernando Cornejo, who was closely associated with Alvarez.

On Sunday night, Interior Minister John Reimberg announced that the police would take over the operations of Segura EP following the investigation. The intervention stemmed from an urgent act requested by the National Police, hinting at serious allegations against Segura EP, which involve potential breaches of security protocols. The prosecutor's office indicated that this urgency was based on classified information suggesting that the enterprise was leaking sensitive data, thus necessitating immediate action.

The implications of this incident are significant for the public's trust in the governance of security management in Guayaquil, a city currently grappling with safety challenges. The oversight by the police may lead to a restructuring within Segura EP, potentially affecting its operations and objectives in crisis management. As the situation evolves, it will be crucial to monitor how the government navigates these allegations and what measures will be implemented to restore public confidence in security management systems in the region.
