Ecuador's Congress declares former President Lasso 'responsible' for embezzlement

Quito, Nov 30 (EFE).- Ecuador's National Assembly on Thursday impeached former President Guillermo Lasso (2021-2023) and declared him responsible for the crime of embezzlement.

This was the final vote of an impeachment process that the then president interrupted six months ago by dissolving the chamber and forcing a call for extraordinary general elections in what is known in Ecuador as the "crossed death" procedure, which also removed him from power.
