Gutiérrez in custody

The Ecuadorian National Police have just announced that they have orders to arrest former president Abdalá Bucaram, who Gutiérrez had pardoned for the corruption charges he had been avoiding for the past eight years in Panama before returning just a few weeks ago. The police also have orders to arrest Lucio himself who tried to leave Ecuador by plane a few minutes ago. The people occupied the runways of the international airport to stop Bucaram and Gutiérrez’s escape, and a military plane intercepted the helicopter in which Lucio seemed to be trying to make his final escape and took him to a military base.

The news keep pouring in from the people, who now call themselves “forajidos” (“renegades”, which Gutiérrez had earlier used against them)... but victory is already theirs.
