Legal proceedings involving Guayaquil Mayor Aquiles Alvarez

Overview

The Guayas Provincial Court has upheld a three-year prison sentence against Guayaquil Mayor Aquiles Alvarez. The conviction stems from his failure to comply with legitimate decisions of a competent authority, specifically regarding his failure to wear an electronic monitoring device.

The electronic bracelet was a precautionary measure related to the ‘Triple A’ investigation, which concerns the illegal distribution and sale of fuel. Authorities reported that the device recorded over 2,000 alerts, including disconnections and signals of potential removal, while Alvarez was under surveillance.

In addition to the prison term, the court confirmed a fine equivalent to ten unified basic salaries and requirements for integral reparation, such as public apologies. This ruling follows a previous sentence of six years and eight months for illegal fuel trafficking. Alvarez’s defense has indicated they may appeal the decision to the National Court of Justice.
