ECUADOR: Lasso avoids impeachment over Pandora Papers
Ecuador’s national assembly rejected a motion to launch impeachment proceedings against President Guillermo Lasso on 7 December, which had called for his removal from office due to his naming in the leaked ‘Pandora Papers’ on international tax havens [WR-21-41]. The vote followed a decision by the comptroller general’s office to shelve an investigation into Lasso’s tax arrangements after finding no evidence of criminal wrongdoing. Lasso may be out of immediate danger, but an investigation into him by the attorney general’s office reportedly remains open.
