Ecuador president claims 'invisible bosses' captures cut extortion 35% in Quito, Guayaquil

President Daniel Noboa attributes a 35% reduction in extortion in Quito and Guayaquil to the capture of criminal leaders, part of a broader crackdown on criminal economies. The claim is unverified and likely politically motivated, as it supports his security agenda ahead of elections. The actual impact on criminal networks remains uncertain.
