Authorities in Ecuador have transferred the leader of a powerful gang accused of threatening a presidential candidate before he was slain to a maximum security prison.
About 4,000 soldiers and police officers were involved in the dawn operation to relocate Adolfo Macias, also known by his alias, “Fito”, on Saturday.

Central America Cancer
Only thing Ecuador is in South America …
🤦🏻♂️😂🤣😂🤣
Fuerra Lasso!!
CIA trying to make it look good. Not the 1st one they have had removed either.
Why was he not already in max security? Just put him in 24hr lockdown/no visits/no contact with others if he’s ordering hits from prison.
Terrible news. I pray his family and friends find solace and peace.
these Latin American narco-nations are shipping drugs to every inch of the earth
Lol love love life 🧬
What a shame !
You will never find justice in the land where laws are made by criminals!
not in america or the west or here in canada no
They need a leader Like Bukele, the President of El Salvador. That is what happens when you allow the gang cartels to grow and grow and then vote in corrupt Politicians. I fell sorry for the ones who are actually trying to take positions to root out the corruption , God help them. Look at what we are dealing with here in the US with the Biden Crime Family and the Democrats.
It’s pretty bad when you have to raid your own prison to take someone to a different prison.
Gang leaders in s america are very powerful and often have there own army with military weopens
@Jagjit Not often and the American police/military have better equipment 😂
@I’m Not Obama yr talking about police in brazil mexico etc you have individuals with power of small army
@Jagjit Oh you said “S America” my bad. I thought you were talking about the US
We need Bukele in all Latin countries. He basically talled Human RIghts to F off while cleaning his country and he did but my country is too corrupted and/or afraid to start killing criminals (probably the US would try and sanction us lol).
narco state of mexico and ecuador
the only one who is winning against narco gangs is nayib bukele of el salvador
As far as I know it happens in the Philippines and Cambodia as well, some people in power or a powerful group/cartel/organization etc puts a hit on an individual and they use inmates to do the killing, they let inmates out they do the hit and return in jail where their Alibi is that they were in jail that whole time.
Organized crime can not exist without cooperation from the state.
The fat gangster made huge headlines two weeks ago, when he posted a high-quality video recorded inside the prison. In the video, he offered a truce to other cartels, after weeks of extreme violence inside and outside prisons. Immediately, the rival gangsters accepted the truce. There was a national feeling that the government is totally helpless, and cartels are truly in charge.
🎉
The madness is Real
Let them try Bukele from El Salvador. No more insecurity in Central America.
Yes they controlled
No more insecurities in El Salvador the rest of Central America is trash.
Bukele doesn’t get along with the rest of his neighboring presidents because they believe he’s violating gang members rights.
Bukele is just doing what no other President had the balls to do.
The guy really loves his people & country.
I bet that tge Assassination was Orchestrated by America!!!
South American countries are finally on the right tracks. South Americans could be the world premier vacation destinations if the governments of South American countries clean up the gangs make the destinations safe for the world tourists.
ALL you need to do is take their money away by legalizing drugs and let degenerates off themself if they want using drugs.
Meanwhile, YOU get the tax money.
ALL the money.
They get dirty gutters to sleep in.
Crime ends as we know it
Only Ecuador and Venezuela are dangerous
Bukele is opening a portal of political correctness that could leas to an inprovement in Latin America.
Any heroin there
Villavicencio is a Spanish name, not ITALIAN, why it is pronounced as it was Italian? Latin America speak Spanish in case you missed that. I know it is not easy but pronouncing properly the name news actors is key and the bare minimum as form of respect. Imagine you get wrong one of the top 3 spoken languages in the world, what to expect when pronouncing names with far less speakers…
Chill , don’t be so proud of your colonial overlords
Yall needs to get an El Salvador situation. Suspend rights start locking them up and subjugate them. In fact ask them for help and have them hold you guys and even help set up a similar system.
here in canada guys can get five years for murder
@UnclePutinAnnex TheShitoutofmedaddy its got to be BS What you are saying
Easier said then done. What BUKELE has done in El Salvador will not be duplicated. Many have already tried & failed. The guy had a plan from day one & he executed it to the fullest.
All these other Presidents in Latin America bow down to the Biden Administration.
The same media criticizes El Salvador. That country has seen the light. Gang violence and rot will always prevent development and prosperity furthering South America’s exploitation of natural resources by the powers.
Sounds like your govt was too STUPID to legalize drugs and take ALL the revenue away from criminals.
Not sad for you at all.
Assinated by the Government that Cartel Leader is only the Fall Guy.
Wow it’s just like in the USA over there in Ecuador .
Lmao no its not, it’s way worse
This is a sick country.
The entire world needs, in each Country, a President like Bukele !!!
Well all past century’s dictators started as the man we need.
Agree.
Indeed
No the world needs Jesus
@Alex Tapia Say Jesus like person. He had died long ago.
Looking at America
She not speak open face
This is wrong truely wrong this manipulation lead by British government officials since 2008 treatment of politics prisoner on heritage hostage
Here in Somalia we have the death penalty.
A single shot and he is gone.
We don’t have crime in Somalia.
30 years of paying for his security, food, health is crazy.
No crime in Somalia? I’m not sure about that one bro 😅
@nectanboit sounds crazy. But its true. They even don’t have forex beurals. exchange happens in the open air market and on the streets. When its time for prayer they just leave money unattended and no one can take even a single dollar. I visited once and it was my first time seeing $100 G’s in cash.
Come to my country kenya and the same beurals are made of concrete, crazy steel bars, also included in the package is bulletproof glass, CCTC in your nose, security guards and panic alarms.
There is no crime in somalia 🇸🇴
Hello? Terrorist groups? ISIS? Pirates?
Somalia dreamland 😂
Theatrical action there is no photo’s evidence of dead.
Com certeza não foi ele, mas sim o sistema que garante a corrupcão dos governantes e as petroleiras. Igualzinho no Brasil.
Really was getting excited to visit Ecuador, but not anymore. Maybe when their government treats all drug dealers, especially anyone associated with a cartel, as terrorists and treats them appropriately.
Legalize cocaine.
So I think he was moved so he could escape as might be promised by the hired killer
Many foreign investors take China’s super-stable and secure environment for granted in regard to the world factory location. Until they seek China-replacement in South America or other asian countries… China’s model is unique in entire (modern) human civilization (<10.000 years).
When mob rules
Stop Amhara Genocide in Ethiopian ❗
Fake Amhara Genocide! It’s a law enforcement operation.
Freedom for Palestine
Freedom for air? What are you talking about?
Scapegoat 😒😒
Americans should stop doing drugs. Problem solved
No. If they were made COMPLETELY legal then the price and the ability to make money from it would go way down right away. Weed is said to be legal in canada but it isn’t really. The stores sell for the same price, as it’s always been on the street. A lot more than any plant grown in the dirt ever costs.
Use the El Salvador doctrine when it comes to dealing with gangs.
People pls leave this man alone have u got any idea what anti corruption people like this man who got shot do /I will put you in the picture they end up taking property’s and put our angles in jail seizure of assets hard earned this man should have a medal 🥶/ my girl friend works at Orwell fisheries Felixstowe ip11 7 he England if he needs help with toiletries 🤢🤮I want this man left alone 🖍️📜
BRAVE WOMAN!!!!!
Rodrigo Duterte the ex Philipine leader knows how to deal with the maffia.
USA ( CIA) is behind all this mess
But why do you need 4000 troops to move a guy from one prison to another? Or why move him at all after the fact? Looks like Netflix is ruining entire countries!
CRIMINALS CONTROL EVERYTHING…A NARCO STATE
Capitalism is the cause of most evil in society.
GREED
could sent 4 marshals they do it way cheaper but you did good job all same
let bukele fight these gangs
🤣😂🤣😂
Please that 🤡 Lasso was critical of Bukele’s war on street gangs.
But that’s Ecuador war not El Salvador.
You get rid of pest, you don’t negotiate.
Despite having the option to send 4 marshals, you did a fantastic job nonetheless.
Be hopeful
Very sad Very sad Very sad police/polizia/policia cinema cinema cinema in Ecuador
Going on tv tell the world what your methods of self preservation and protection is so smart
!!! People must learn to move discreetly and keep your opponents guessing! now they know exactly how to target these ppl
The bosses back candidates
These gang bosses down there are bad business men. So overly emotional. 🙄
I don’t condone crime, but they need to learn how to stay content with their lot.
Ecuador 🇪🇨 is doomed 😢
If they punish criminals then no. The death pe can change a criminals thought process to commit the crime of murder.
Why not just lock him down in pit hole without any form of food and water until he dried out ? Why you all just playing with these 👿 demons .what, you expected changes ?
The drug war is now just a war
When you are in the power, you need to destroy all the bad guys, or they will destroy you.
How about his political rivals? I’m not sure the gangster do this by their own agenda, there was an order to assassination the other candidates. Maybe.
Did I just see a MURAL of this guy or another gang leader on the WALL of this prison?? Is this what they do in South American presidents? YOU will never see anything like that in US prisons NEVER!!
The govt should declare war on drug cartels like what the former Philippine President did during his term.
These gang leaders are totally mistaken; killing people for whatever reason doesn’t make your powerful, you will still face God on that day.
The CIA at it again 😢
Al Jazeera is indeed way above the bar for international news!
its so obvious that they are all working for a higher power / “in on it” they are all just merely actors on a stage…
The prison system in Ecuador is a joke 😂. Monsters with no morals deserve to be in a cage
4000 soldiers to move one guy? That country is a mess!
The media wasn’t searched? I’d have an armed guard too.
We need a president here who is not corrupt and is powerful in his approach to these issues ! Prayers for all Candidates
Get rid of cell phones in prison!!!!
I love Your Smile. 1.48 an so go on: Smile en lough in danger. Serious? Is it fun? You laugh. Think you like it all very much. Or is this all a holocaust. How am I supposed to take you seriously?
Lasso is with the cartels.
The people of Ecuador, and all others oppressed by tyranny, need to stand up for their hopes and their homes. Do not let them get away with this; remember that you outnumber them and they are not immortal, just meat that will inevitably be bones. Stay strong!
This is why the 2nd amendemnt is not really that bad in The US.
His move is protection
…is that Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds?!
Make sure to give him air condition
Jose Adolfo Macias Villamar, do you renounce Satan?
And all his works?
And all his pomps?
Why not wipe out this criminal
Hebis upto no good 😡
Cartels are getting out of control. Most of government officials in Columbia, Ecuador, Peru are in bed with the Cartels. These countries need leaders who will take military action against the cartels.
Somos una vergüenza para el mundo
Fuerza hermano!!💪🏻
Bendiciones desde El Salvador para los hermanos Ecuatorianos.
@Jorge Linares gracias mijo ojalá que si dios lo permite tengamos un buen presidente de mano dura sepa dirigir el país vamos a salir de este peligro que está dañando y no poder salir de la casa en paz
The Government is behind it and want to pin it on this guy name Fito
Ecaudor need one like BUKELE of el salvador
Can’t duplicate Nayib Bukele!!
I have come to learn that some countries are extremely dangerous for humans
Lasso is soft on crime.
All the South American presidents & the Biden administration tried throwing dirt on Nayib Bukele for being hard on crime.
But look at El Salvador now. The economy is on rise, murder rate is way down & jobs are being created so Salvadorians don’t immigrant to the U.S.
All these people destroy the rule of law in Ecuador. All because they hated Correa.
Who is behind these corruption. Surely the CIA
time to step up to el Salvador level😁
The gang boss is being blamed to take away attention from who really was behind the assassination
Big chance
Give him to Kim Jong Un to deal with.
✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️🙏🏾
Free my uncle ✨️✨️✨️✨️🙏🏾💜🪶
Be grateful you live in a more stable society
its not ecuador, mankind is on a backward spiral in all social areas since decades, only technology and capitalism grow, wich is not bad, but it not goes in align with the social factors,this is one of the issues why many poor get attracted by cartels.
THIS IS WHAT OBAMA, I MEAN BIDEN WANTS FOR AMERICA.
blood is in the air you guys are happy , you got news and lies to say !!!!
