With five votes in favor, the report of the Sucre System was approved, which will be delivered to the prosecution offices of Ecuador, the United States, Panama, Colombia, and Venezuela.

With five votes in favor and two against, a few minutes ago the majority report of the Supervisory Commission on the case of an alleged money laundering through the Sucre System was approved, in which the Foglocons company would have participated through fictitious exports between Ecuador and Venezuela, in a framework which includes Alex Saab, considered a tough man of madurismo and Alvaro Pulido, wanted by the North American justice.

The report brings several conclusions among which it is considered that the The system would have been used for money laundering, and it is also indicated that part of the money from these fictitious exports could have reached Rafael Correa’s electoral campaign in 2013. It is also established that there was a lack of control from various authorities and even that the companies did not act effectively in the control. The report brings a list of companies and people who would have been the beneficiaries of those monies.

This morning, the session began with a reading of the observations that had been made last Friday by some assembly members to feed the report drawn up within the Commission. Among the main observations received It was intended that the wording be done in a way that respects the presumption of innocence of those involved, since in some paragraphs it was implied that they were condemned by the Commission.

Later, the assemblywoman Christian Socialist Soledad Diab asked to read a letter that Mr. Jorge Muñoz, executive president of Banco Amazonas, had sent to the Commission on Sunday at 11:30 p.m. In his letter, Muñoz said that he had received the Commission’s report, not yet approved, and he disagreed that a treatment allegedly dedicated to this financial entity had been made in the Audit report. He claimed that many other banks and not only the Amazon had operations through the Sucre System. Thus he said that only 9% of transactions were registered in Banco Amazonas.

On the subject, the President of the Commission Fernando Villavicencio, explained that the observations included in the report already contained, precisely, the list of banks with the number of operations and amounts. This table was previously in the annexes , but now it is included in the main report. In any case, he wondered how that report would have gotten to Banco Amazonas.

Minutes later, UNES assembly member María Gabriela Molina reported that her bench had made a minority report that asked to be read in its entirety. The reading that was given at 5:00 p.m. was on the conclusions and recommendations of the UNES report, as it was done with the majority report. Among the main recommendations of the minority report are:

That the system Sucre is legal and that It cannot be said that it was created with the intention of laundering assets. It is indicated that public officials did fulfill their control functions. It also mentions that this issue was reported and this already led to an investigation that ended in a dismissal.

Finally, the majority report was voted and was approved. However, the President of the Commission Fernando Villavicencio, accepted the request of UNES to attach the minority report also to the majority report, in order for it to be delivered to various entities for their investigation. The idea of ​​the Commission is to send the report to the prosecutors of Ecuador, the United States, Colombia, Venezuela and Panama.
