Jorge Glassformer vice president of Ecuador, stated that it was victim of torture during arrest during a police raid on the Mexican embassy in Quito.
Glass Espinel revealed details of his arrest at his first appeal hearing habeas corpus submitted by the defense of the former vice president with a request to cancel his detention and transfer him to Mexico or a third country that also respect the asylum provided.
The former vice president, speaking via videoconference from the La Roca maximum security prison in Ecuador, assured that he had received beating and dislocation of two fingers.
Glas, who went on hunger strike, said police detained him at Mexico’s diplomatic headquarters after he subdued the official in charge, Roberto Canseco, for whom he had requested a reward from the Mexican government.
“I open the door, they point flashlights in my face and push rifles at me. I fall on the seat and they start yelling at me.
“I was in my pajamas and I just said, let me get dressed and get my medicine,” said Glass, who also asked not to be handcuffed.
“It wasn’t enough for them to throw me against the wall, they’ll hit my head against the wall and they started kicking me and kneeing me in the thighs.
“They knocked me to the floor, attacked me, They step on my neck and kick me in the ribs“, he asserted.
The former vice president indicated that “one of the guys in the black mask who said he was in charge (of the operation)” dislocated his finger, telling him it was so he would remember it.
“They handcuffed me and I was hanging with my hands behind my back in an obviously tortured position,” said Glass, who also claimed that “the method of torture was broadcast live.”
“Who could be on the other side? (Perhaps) the police commander, perhaps with a toast, or perhaps the president.”
“Until it is proven, I prefer to think it is a lie because it embarrasses me as an Ecuadorian,” he added.
He stated that they were transported in handcuffs back to cause more damage and take it back “like a trophy of war.”
In the car that took him to the Quito pogrom station, the former vice president said the police “were in a fanfare inside.”
I was lying on the floor with a boot on my neck, my whole body turned and my hands behind my back, and I was knocked down in the same way at the crime scene.
For Glas, the asylum granted to him by the government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is “recognition of being politically persecuted.”
The title that a former vice president has to claim his innocence in the face of criminal proceedings and convictions against them.
Before the López Obrador administration granted him asylum, Glas had an arrest warrant for his return to prison in the reconstruction case of Manabi province, the hardest hit by the 2016 earthquake, where he is accused of alleged embezzlement (wasting public funds). facilities).
He also has yet to return to prison to serve an eight-year prison sentence on two convictions for bribery and illegal activity, the latest in the Odebrecht case, which he is trying to overturn after they were thrown out as evidence. in Brazil, a computer system with the nicknames of bribe takers.
“Sooner or later, justice will prevail in this. I ask you to return (my detention) to its previous state.
“I was sent to prison three times. Enough is enough,” said Glass, who was already in prison between 2017 and 2022 and was released under a controversial court order on precautionary measures. (EFE)
