In the northwestern South American country of Ecuador, 16 people, including the leader of a drug trafficking gang, were killed in a clash between inmates.
Officials said about this: Thalinag is 80 km from Keto. Clashes erupted Tuesday between inmates on the far-flung Ladagunga Jail Road. 16 died when they attacked each other with guns and knives; 43 Poe was wounded.
Among those killed in the riots was Leonardo Norero, the leader of the drug-trafficking gang known as ‘El Patron’. He had many assets including 7 companies and a luxury farm and was arrested last May.
Authorities said Leonardo Norero avoided being charged in Peru by pretending to be dead already during the coronavirus crisis.
