Quito.- A delegation from fbi will come to Ecuador in the next few hours to support the investigation into the murder of presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio, victim of an attack perpetrated by alleged hitmen as he left an electoral rally in Quito on Wednesday afternoon.
The arrival of the FBI in Ecuador was confirmed this Thursday on social networks by the president of Ecuador, the conservative Guillermo Lasso, who indicated that he asked the United States for the support of the federal investigative agency to clarify this crime.
After the murder of Villavicencio became known, the Government of the United States had offered the Ecuadorian Executive “urgent investigative assistance” through its ambassador in Quito, Michael J. Fitzpatrick.
