Ecuador's President Noboa accused of murder

0:00On February 25, 2026, in a Spanish court, Wilmer Chavarria, known as People, leader of an Ecuadorian criminal organization, declared that Ecuador's current president, Daniel Noboa, ordered the assassination of former presidential candidate, Fernando Villavicencio, claiming that this information came from an insider within Noboa's inner circle, warned him that Noboa feared losing the election. Chavarria claims the original plan was to extradite him so he could falsely confess and implicate Rafael Correa, former president of Ecuador, a man the gangster says he has never met. When he refused to cooperate, the plan allegedly collapsed. He says the pressure campaign included threats delivered by a government emissary. threats he claimed were captured on security cameras. This testimony created a serious problem for the Noboa administration, which had relied heavily on statements from inmates on their state control to accuse Correa and his political movement. Ecuadorian courts and major media outlets ignored Chavarria's testimony because it implicated Noboa while amplifying testimonies from

Notably, Villavicencio's widow requested that these accusations be added to the murder trial. Months earlier, she stated publicly that Ecuador's prosecutor and president Noboa himself lied to her and manipulated her into blaming Correa for the murder to influence the election. These feats a broader pattern of law for, using courts, prosecutors and media narratives to destroy political opponents while legitimizing new security agreements with the United States. Agreements that quietly frame internal enemies, including correismo, indigenous movements, and anti-mining resistance. Chavarria also accused Noboa of being a powerful actor within the international drug trade. Notably, Noboa refused to take a drug test when publicly challenged

He ends up being president of the oversight committee. There's a candidate out there who claims to be very honourable and clean, and he's a good person. This message isn't for any good person. You, the mobsters who pollute the containers, you who serve drug trafficking, you polluters of cargo, your time is running out.
