Van Klaveren ruled out that Manuel García-Rey and his son escaped from Ecuador, since their return to Chile took place before being notified of the arrest warrant.
Alberto van Klaveren, Minister of Foreign Affairs, ruled out an escape from Ecuador by Manuel García-Rey, consul general in Guayaquil, after her son faced a rape complaint in Punta Cana.
From the Foreign Ministry they confirmed that The diplomat’s son is wanted by the Ecuadorian justice system, after a teenager filed a lawsuit last November, accusing three classmates of abusing her in the middle of a study tour to the Dominican Republic.
However, The portfolio headed by Van Klaveren learned of the case when the consul in Guayaquil and his family had already left the country.
In this regard, the chancellor pointed out that ““The consul and his family had an appointment date starting in April of this year and naturally, he moved his family precisely taking into account the beginning of the school year for his children.”
Along these lines, he ruled out that Manuel García-Rey and his son escaped from Ecuador, since His return to Chile took place before being notified of the arrest warrant.
“In no case is there a situation of escape, but on the other hand, precisely because of the complaints that have been made in Ecuador, and the statements that the (victim’s) lawyer has had, we believed it prudent to open a summary investigation,” explained the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
