Ecuador Assembly Expands Probe into Uncontrolled Surveillance Camera Removal in Quito, Riobamba

Ecuador's National Assembly is broadening an investigation into the removal of 116 surveillance cameras in Riobamba, allegedly without oversight, with some mounted on posts and trees reportedly used by organized crime groups. The expansion to Quito suggests a wider pattern of unregulated video surveillance infrastructure. The probe's scope and potential political fallout remain uncertain.
