The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility mentioned this Friday in an interview to Ecuavisa channel that she cannot assure that the former vice-governor will remain in the diplomatic headquarters of the Central American country, where he arrived last December 17.

Sommerfeld said he is in contact with the Mexican ambassador in Quito, Raquel Serur, who refers to Glas as a guest.

The head of the Ecuadorian diplomacy ratified that a delegation of the government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador will visit the country in the next days to deal with the issue.

Last January 5, the Ecuadorian justice ordered the preventive detention of Glas, in the midst of an investigation against him for alleged embezzlement in public works contracted after the devastating earthquake of 2016.

Faced with what he considers a new onslaught of political persecution against him, the former vice president officially requested asylum from the Mexican government.
