Ecuador: State of emergency declared after notorious drug gang boss escapes from prison | BBC News


A 60-day state of emergency is taking place in Ecuador after a convicted gang leader vanished from his prison cell.

Adolfo Macías Villamar, better known as "Fito", is the leader of Los Choneros, a powerful gang which is thought to have been behind some of the deadly prison riots in recent months.

He was being held in the maximum security wing of a jail in Guayaquil.

The emergency measures include the suspension of the right of assembly and a nightly curfew.
