Quito. La Fiscalía de Ecuador informó este lunes que investiga al expresidente Lenín Moreno (2017–2021) por la supuesta desaparición de piezas patrimoniales que estaban en la sede del gobierno nacional. Ante esto, realizaron “diligencias en la vivienda del expresidente Lenín M., en el contexto de una investigación previa por un presunto delito de peculado, relacionado con piezas patrimoniales supuestamente desaparecidas de Carondelet”, en el centro colonial de Quito, señaló en Twitter la Fiscalía.

El peculado, que incluye la apropiación de bienes, es un delito imprescriptible en Ecuador y se sanciona hasta con 13 años de cárcel.
