He ordered the murder of Ergys Dashi, the truths that "El Patron"

Leandro Antonio Norero Tigua, known by the nickname "El Patron", according to Ecuadorian media, was killed during a fierce fight in the institution where he was serving his sentence.

But the fact that members of organized crime have reached "El Patron" under the nose of the state, makes it clear that they can reach anyone, writes La Hora newspaper.

Unlike what happens with other murders of important drug traffickers, Norero's end occurred when his case was far from being fully resolved.

The data available to El Patron showed a disturbing reach into the political structures not only in Ecuador but also more widely, as he was involved with international drug money laundering networks, illegal mining and had access to important power spaces. economic.

Worrying was the closeness of Norero that he guarded with the actors of organized crime as well as with individuals from the richest strata who had important connections with people of the judiciary and politics in Ecuador.

 His arrest and trial, long prepared by the authorities, although he also faced legal pitfalls, 'El Patrino' threatened to reveal to public opinion the 'tip of the iceberg'.

His murder raises two fundamental questions: who benefits and who will be the next victim. 

Ecuadorian officials and politicians insist on avoiding responsibility, inventing pretexts and looking the other way, the newspaper 'La Hora' concludes.

We recall that "El Patron" was accused of being related to the murder of the Albanian Ergus Dashi in Ecuador for the drug trafficking case.
