Ecuador raids expose alleged doctor-official network aiding drug lord Rexhepi

Ecuadorian police and prosecutors conducted 11 raids across Guayaquil, Quito, and Morona Santiago, targeting a network of doctors and SNAI officials suspected of using fraudulent medical certificates to favor imprisoned Albanian drug lord Dritan Rexhepi. The operation signals a crackdown on corruption within the prison system, but the extent of the network and its impact on Rexhepi's operations remain unclear.
