00:00In Ecuador, the drug scandal involving the family of President Daniel Novoa escalates with a scheme to smuggle more than two tons of cocaine.
00:07It is known as the Blasted case, as the containers where 2.6 tons of cocaine were found between March 27th and the 28th, 2025,
00:14were, according to the anti-drug police, manipulated and cloned in the yard of the Blasted Company, a public limited company.
00:22The area is located in the DP World for Sorja Port in the province of Guayas and belongs to the Novoa Global Companies.
00:29Currently, there are five people in custody, and investigations have concluded that Chilean citizen Alvaro Guverno Becker,
00:36husband of the first vice president of the Ecuadorian Assembly, Michel Mancheno, is the manager of the company,
00:41and Silvia Sanchez, a personal friend of Alvaro Novoa, father of the head of state, is the president of the company.
00:47Suspiciously, and despite this being a flagrant case, the process is experiencing unusual delays,
00:53and the trial hearings have been postponed several times.
00:59Thank you very much.
