A prosecutor investigating an on-air attack on a public television station last week has been shot dead in Guayaquil, Ecuador’s largest city.
Prosecutor Cesar Suarez, who earlier investigated some other high-profile cases, was shot on Wednesday while driving, according to Attorney General Diana Salazar.
“Organised crime groups, criminals, terrorists will not stop our commitment to society,” she said in a video broadcast on X.
Translation: It is impossible not to be broken by the death of a colleague in the fight against organised crime. We will remain firm in his name: for him, for the country, for justice. Thank you for your work, Cesar. Rest in peace. My solidarity with his family and friends.
