The ex-president Abdullah Bucaram Denied a publication on Saturday afternoon that claimed that he reported that the United States had taken the visa away from his entire family due to an alleged request by the Prosecutor’s Office.
The exmandarario and his lawyer, Fernando Rosero, stated that they had not spoken to the media about any visa issue.
Bucaram currently remains under house arrest for alleged arms and ammunition trafficking since this week.
Police officers found a weapon when they raided his house as part of the investigations related to the cases of alleged corruption for the overpriced sale of medical supplies to the IESS Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Hospital.
During the operations of last Wednesday, the case of one of Bucaram’s sons, former assemblyman Dalo Bucaram, who is just in the United States with his wife and children, was also raided.
Last Friday Rosero had rejected that the former president is related to corruption cases due to the overpriced sale of medical supplies to the hospital and said it was to affect his presidential candidacy. In addition to the supplies found in the house were to give away in popular sectors. (I)
