In the context of the so-called Goleada case, Ramiro García, the lawyer representing Aquiles Alvarez, has formally requested the transfer of Alvarez and four other defendants to the Centro de Rehabilitación Social Masculino Pichincha #2, commonly known as prison 4 in Quito. Recently, a judge issued a preventive detention order for Alvarez along with his brothers Antonio and Xavier Mario, as well as two others, Fernando P. and César B., while recommending their transfer to prison 4. However, the final decision was left to the SNAI (National Service for Comprehensive Attention to Adults Deprived of Liberty) to determine the most suitable facility based on a thorough assessment of the risks and specific circumstances affecting each individual case.

The judge emphasized that the SNAI, which is responsible for the security of imprisoned individuals, has the authority to select the appropriate rehabilitation center after reviewing the unique situations of the defendants. It was initially planned for Alvarez and the others to be housed in prison 4, but following immediate decisions, Alvarez was instead sent to the Latacunga prison, while his co-defendants were sent to the Turi prison in Cuenca. This transfer raises questions about the capacity of the SNAI to respond effectively to judicial recommendations and the implications for Alvarez's case.

The community and legal observers are now closely watching how this situation unfolds, particularly as it pertains to the rights of the accused and the thoroughness of the judicial process in Ecuador. The case has garnered significant media attention due to its involvement of notable figures, possibly sparking further discussions on prison conditions and the treatment of incarcerated individuals in the country.
