The President of the country on Wednesday announced that the most wanted fusitive of Ecuador has been removed after escaping from prison last year.
Jose Adolfo McAius, therefore known as “Fito”, occupied in the Ecuador, President Daniel Noboa said, without disclosing further details. The Associated Press News Agency quoted the officials, saying that the arrest was made in Ecuadorian city of Manta, Fito.
What did Nobo say about fito’s possession?
The Noboa government offered a reward of $ 1 million (about € 855.650) for the leading information for the capture of the gang leader.
Noboa said in a statement by X, “My recognition for our police and army participating in this operation will fall more, we will regain the country. No Trus.”
Quito requested him to be extradited to the United States, where the “Los Choneros” criminal gang was approved last year, Noboa said, he says, waiting for Washington’s response.
McAius is due to facing international guns and drug charges in a federal court in New York.
Who is ‘Fito’ and why is it the most fugitive of Ecuador?
The leader of the criminal gang was sent to 34 -year -old jail sentence, drug trafficking, murder and other crimes in 2011. During an episode of violence, he disappeared from prison in 2024.
To date, it is not yet clear how he escaped from the Guiana Regional Jail, where he enjoyed a particular position, allowing him to release a video addressed to “Ecuadorians” surrounded by armed men in 2023.
“Fito”, therefore, there was no one in jail, from alcohol to roasters for cockfighting matches.
