Ecuadorean Opposition Leader Luisa Gonzalez Arrested Over Campaign Finance Investigation
Ecuadorean opposition leader Luisa Gonzalez was arrested amid an investigation into alleged irregularities in campaign financing during the 2023 presidential election. The Attorney General's Office is probing undisclosed sources of approximately $500,000 used for campaign advertising, with seven people under investigation and three arrested for alleged money laundering. Gonzalez and her supporters, including Citizens' Revolution party head Gabriela Rivadeneira and former President Correa, deny wrongdoing and describe the arrest as politically motivated persecution. Gonzalez lost the 2023 and 2025 elections to Noboa and was barred from registering for upcoming local elections.
