Police activity and arrests in Quito
Overview
Recent law enforcement actions in Quito, Ecuador, involve both individual criminal proceedings and the apprehension of a high-profile suspect.
In early October, Sebastián Trujillo faced legal prosecution following an incident where he allegedly assaulted a police sub-lieutenant in the south of the city. The assault occurred during transport after Trujillo was detained for attempting to enter a residence where he did not live. A judge has since imposed a 30-day instruction period and travel restrictions on Trujillo.
By October 10, police arrested Rodrigo Z. in Quito following an Interpol red notice. The suspect is accused of involvement in a large-scale real estate fraud scheme operating between 2018 and 2021. Authorities report that the scheme allegedly harmed approximately 160 people by offering low-priced land and property with flexible payment terms.
