CNA demands investigation into Ecuadorian officials over Progen-Blackout energy contracts

The National Anti-Corruption Committee (CNA) has formally requested an investigation into officials Roberto Luque and Inés Manzano regarding fiscal irregularities in energy contracts, confirmed by El Comercio. Concurrently, Minister Luque has sought exemption from a legislative oversight hearing concerning the Manzano trial, citing his focus on the Emergency Operations Committee (COE), confirmed by Expreso. This indicates increasing domestic pressure for accountability amidst potential executive-legislative friction.
