Both criticized the existence of an alleged police intelligence report with follow-up actions and instructions to carry out an apparent attack against them.
The report, which appears to have the logo of the Directorate General of Intelligence of the National Police, prompted Boscán and Velásquez to seek asylum in Canada, arguing that their lives were in danger.
The document with the details of the spy was found on the phone of the late businessman Rubén Chérres. He was murdered in a quadruple crime in March 2023.
Before Chérres died, La Posta revealed his links to an alleged corruption plot in public bodies. Danilo Carrera, brother-in-law of former president Guillermo Lasso (2021-2023) is thought to have been in charge of these. He was also considered to be the head of the Scottish mafia in Ecuador.
Police support investigation into alleged persecution
The Police confirmed in their statement that “this institution has provided and will provide all the facilities to initiate and complete investigations that will clarify facts such as those reported.”
This is persecution and threats to Boscán and Velásquez.
“It is not always quick, feasible or easy, given the complexity of the matters involved and the variety of consequences,” he said.
“We are not going to engage in actions that could endanger us as an institution. Errors, leaks, deviations or isolated illegality, when detected, have been publicly reported since we are an institution of permanent purification, there is no tolerance for the corrupt.”
The journalists’ lawyer denied their versions
La Posta lawyer, Felipe Rodriguezconfirmed that the document found was on Chérres’ phone, but he resigned this Friday to continue protecting this medium.
He explained that the copy of the file was released with the promise that it would not be made public and that it would be used for Boscán and Velásquez’s asylum application.
The lawyer said that he does not know about an instruction in the Prosecutor’s Office not to hand over the document as the two journalists say.
The document shows a follow-up with photographs of the daily activities of the Boscán and Velásquez family. There are specifications that his car is not armored and that his escort is armed.
They identify Boscán as “white” and the conclusions state that “the operation must be carried out at the exit from the residential building”, without specifying what type of action was sought in relation to him, although it is understood by the media that it was intended. to murder
