Ecuador's attorney general on Wednesday said her office will ask for charges against former President Lenin Moreno and three dozen other people for alleged corruption surrounding the construction of the country's largest hydroelectric plant between 2009 and 2018.
The investigation into potential corruption, which began in March 2019, now has the necessary documentation for prosecutors to ask the National Court of Justice to hold a hearing on bribery charges against Moreno and 36 other suspects, said attorney general Diana Salazar.
