Two Ecuadorians linked to 2023 presidential candidate assassination to be extradited to US

Ecuador's Prosecutor's Office announced the extradition of two Ecuadorians—a former police officer and a businessman—to the US for their alleged involvement in the 2023 assassination of presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio. The move signals cross-border judicial cooperation and may expose broader networks behind the killing, though details of the US charges remain undisclosed.
