Having completed more than half of the 120 days of prosecutorial investigation in the Metastasis case, in which 39 people are being investigated for the crime of organized crime, the attorney general, Diana Salazar, calls on the former assemblyman to provide a version of the records of the Ronny Aleaga Citizen Revolution and, in addition, he must attend a hearing in which defendants such as Daniel Salcedo ask that the precautionary measure of preventive detention that weighs on them be reviewed.
Aleaga’s version was requested on February 16 and it was ordered that police agents working for the Prosecutor’s Office locate him and deliver the notification so that he can approach the State Attorney General’s Office, in Quito, or go electronically to respond to several questions that Aleaga’s actions as a legislator have generated and obviously because the name of the current former assemblyman appears in conversations located on the phones of the murdered drug trafficker Leandro Norero.
To the 320 bodies in the Metastasis case file, the Prosecutor’s Office included a letter from January 2023 in which Aleaga, as acting legislator, asks the attorney general to inform him if Xavier Jordán and Leonardo Cortázar were at that time investigated or prosecuted in the money laundering case that was open against Norero’s brothers and wife, who was known by the alias Pattern.
Xavier Jordán, who is one of the defendants in the Metastasis case, since the Prosecutor’s Office places him as one of the members of the leadership of the “criminal enterprise” that Norero led, and Cortázar appear in a photo together with Aleaga in a swimming pool in Miami. The image was made public on May 29, 2022 by Fernando Villavicencio, at that time president of the Assembly Oversight Commission and who was murdered by hitmen on August 9, 2023 when he was a candidate for the Presidency of the Republic.
Ronny Aleaga’s request to prosecutor Salazar came with the demand that she respond promptly to what was requested and that she not omit any details related to the two names and the investigation that included Norero’s brothers, Israel and Johanna, and Lina Romero, wife of the drug dealer.
The document in question and the several messages in which Norero and Jordán mention someone known with the alias el Russian, They generate interest in the Prosecutor’s Office and Aleaga’s version is requested for next Wednesday, February 21, at 09:00.
For the Prosecutor’s Office, the Russian It would be the alias of Ronny Aleaga, who as an assembly member would have become the political operator in the Norero and Jordán Assembly. Aleaga was part of the Latin King gang, a gang that entered into a pacification process in the government of Rafael Correa. He participated twice as an assembly member, once as an alternate, between 2017 and 2021, and another as a regular legislator, for the period 2021-2023.
The alias andl Russian is mentioned recurrently in the chats between Norero and Jordán, alias Husband o Daddy Yankee, Ravioli, Mauricio…not only making him seen as a political operator, but also someone who supposedly did business with local governments. Among the expert chats would be one from September 6, 2022, in which Norero and Jordán talk about him leaving with all the Russian in the Assembly against Fernando Villavicencio and days later Aleaga filed a complaint against Villavicencio and from that Jordán and Norero reported that the Russian “He left him like a pig and denounced them.”
The meaning of the dialogue between aliases Pattern and Jordán was confirmed with the sending of a screenshot of a publication made by a digital medium that included the complaint made by Aleaga.
Once he was denied habeas corpus Daniel Salcedo, another of the defendants in the Metastasis case, now sees the appeal for review as the mechanism to leave his cell in the Cotopaxi Deprivation of Liberty Center, in Latacunga. Salcedo seeks a review of the precautionary measure of preventive detention that was imposed on him at the beginning of last January when he was linked to the criminal process and was carried out in mid-January when he was deported from Panama, a country in which he was detained by agents of Interpol.
The review hearing is scheduled for February 28 at 10:50 and will include in that same act the appeals for review of the precautionary measure of preventive detention that weighs on Police Colonel Neycer M. and the freely practicing lawyer. Sofia G.
Within the tax investigation phase there are other defendants who have simultaneously requested an appeal and review of the precautionary measure and along the way have withdrawn from some of these actions. This fact has somewhat hindered the evacuation of the proceedings. The defendants ask that speed be given, but the judge in charge of the case, Felipe Córdova, has explained that having filed an appeal, a court has already been drawn for it and this court must respond to the proposed action.
