QUITO (Reuters) - The president of Ecuador's National Justice Court on Friday said he had signed an extradition request for the country's ex-President Rafael Correa, who lives in Belgium, seeking his return to Ecuador to serve an eight-year jail term for bribery.
An Ecuadorian court sentenced Correa to eight years in prison in 2020, accusing him - along with other officials - of being behind wrongful charges to contractors in a move to finance electoral campaigns for his political movement between 2012 and 2016.
