Ecuador captures suspect of plotting attempt on prosecutor’s life

Quito, Jan 5 (Prensa Latina) The Minister of Government of Ecuador, Monica Palencia, announced that the National Police captured the person accused of threatening the life of the Attorney General of the State, Diana Salazar.

The arrested person is Fabricio Colón Pico, alias Capitán Pico or Salvaje Pico, member of the Los Lobos gang and who is allegedly also involved in the murder of former presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio.

The Attorney General’s Office confirmed the information on its X platform account, where it said that charges would be filed in the coming hours.

This week, during a hearing related to the Metastasis case, Salazar denounced that Colón Pico had been hired to make an attempt on her life.

We have received alerts of how they are acquiring the same ammunition, and the same group in charge of murdering Fernando Villavicencio has been hired to silence the voice of the prosecutor, he said.
