Ex-official gets five-year term

A verdict has been issued sentencing former Ecuadorian President Lenín Moreno to five years in prison on charges of corruption and accepting bribes from a Chinese company in exchange for assistance in securing a contract to build a power plant. The judgment includes Moreno's conviction as a direct participant in the bribery scheme during his tenure as vice president, and he is currently serving his sentence under house arrest due to a physical disability he suffers from. Additionally, his wife and daughter have been sentenced to 30 months in prison, along with being ordered to repay three times the illegal amounts within 90 days. Moreno is the third former president in Ecuador to face corruption convictions, despite having been tried before taking office.
