Ecuador official alleges new corruption network in state utility Celec linked to Karla Saud

Ecuador's Public Administration Secretary José Julio Neira has publicly alleged a new corruption case within state electricity company Celec, involving a network of companies also tied to the Progen case, and naming Karla Saud. The claim is an allegation by a government official, not yet corroborated by judicial proceedings. This signals potential expansion of anti-corruption investigations in Ecuador's state sector.
