The Attorney General of Ecuador has made an accusatory ruling against seven individuals accused of illicit association related to the Liga2 case, requesting that they stand trial.
The Attorney General's substitute, Carlos Leonardo Alarcón, has officially accused seven individuals in the Liga2 case for the crime of illicit association. During a preparatory hearing reinstated on the night of March 20, 2026, the General Prosecutor's Office of the State (FGE) presented evidence and urged National Court Justice judge Daniella Camacho to call the accused to trial.
Those implicated in the case include former members of the Citizen Participation and Social Control Council (CPCCS), along with individuals affiliated with the Liga Azul, which is associated with the correísmo political movement. The accused are notable figures such as Augusto Verduga, Yadira Saltos, and Eduardo Franco Loor, as well as current council member Nicole Bonifaz, former presidential candidate of the Citizen Revolution Andrés Arauz, and other political players like Raúl González and Esther Cuesta.
This legal action indicates a significant development in the Liga2 case, reflecting ongoing issues related to political corruption and accountability in Ecuador. The implications of this case may affect public trust in political institutions and heighten scrutiny on similar associations within the government, as public sentiment continues to grapple with corruption's impact in the country.
