The judicial authorities went on July 3, 2020 to the Abel Gilbert hospital, in Guayaquil, where Salcedo is hospitalized, but they could not enter the intensive care area.
The Prosecutor’s Office went to the Abel Gilbert Pontón Hospital, in the Guayaquil suburb, to receive the testimony of Daniel Salcedo, who has already emerged from the induced coma.
Salcedo, principal involved in the corruption network In the hospitals of the Ecuadorian Social Security Institute (IESS), he is in that medical home recovering from the plane crash he suffered when he tried to escape the country.
According to Luigi García, one of his lawyers, the diligence could not be fulfilled because the doctors did not allow the entry to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
The lawyer even assured that his client “suffers from delusions so he is not in a position to speak with the Prosecutor’s Office.”
“Delusions are periods of lucidity and confusion and these delusions place him in the year 2016. He is located in the year 2016,” said García. García wants the Prosecutor’s Office to carry out a medical examination to establish the real health situation of Salcedo and if he can testify.
