FORMER Ecuadorian president Rafael Correa hit out at his “political persecution” yesterday as Interpol closed a red notice issued against him by his successor Lenin Moreno.
He said the decision confirmed that the entire process was a form of “lawfare” used to prevent him from standing in elections, with Mr Moreno’s government making “fools of themselves.”
Ecuador initially filed a request for a red notice — an international wanted persons notice — with Interpol in July 2018 after accusing Mr Correa of involvement in the kidnapping of former opposition legislator Fernando Balda, which he denies.
