Ecuador: raid on the “Choneros” gang in Guayaquil. If the leader of the Choneros gang, Adolfo Macias alias “Fito”, is still free, his men are subject to increasing pressure from the Ecuadorian police and military.

“The Penguin” was the main objective of this raid, according to Lt. Col. Roberto Santamaria, head of the Nueva Prosperina district. Ecuador, at war against drug trafficking and criminal groups, on Tuesday eased the curfew imposed 15 days ago.
