The trial hearing for the Triple A case was suspended on March 22 due to connectivity problems and complaints from the defense of the accused, Aquiles Álvarez and César Bravo. The hearing was reinstated briefly, but the court had to order the two accused to be transported from the Encounters Prison to the judicial unit in La Libertad, Santa Elena, to address the connectivity failures and issues raised regarding the equality of conditions and use of electronic devices during the proceedings.

The case involves a total of 16 individuals and 6 legal entities facing prosecution by the State Attorney General's Office for their alleged involvement in corrupt practices and organized crime. This trial is part of a larger effort to address corruption in Ecuador's public sectors and has drawn significant attention from the media and the public, reflecting the government's stance on tackling illicit activities.

The decision to postpone the hearing to May 30, 2026, raises questions about the efficiency of the judicial process in dealing with high-profile corruption cases in Ecuador and could further delay justice for the victims. It highlights the challenges faced by the judicial system, particularly in terms of infrastructure and ensuring equal access to legal representation.
