💨 Abstract

Ecuador's former Vice President Jorge Glas was temporarily evacuated from prison due to security concerns, but was later returned following a weapons and explosives control operation. His lawyer claimed the evacuation was an attempted assassination, and accused the government of endangering Glas' life. Glas was arrested in April after seeking asylum in Mexico's embassy, and has been convicted for corruption on two separate occasions. He also faces charges of misusing funds for earthquake relief.
