The Purga Case is the media term for a criminal judicial process in Ecuador in which the Attorney General's Office has pressed charges against several public officials and justice operators, seeking to prove the connections between politics, justice, and drug trafficking.[1][2]
"The Purga Case is a demonstration of how corruption was generated from the highest spheres of legislative politics, which put at its service and, obviously, at the service of drug trafficking, the administration of justice in one of the most influential provinces of the country, Guayas, through which criminal economies had found a very profitable operating vehicle for impunity to flourish," stated the Attorney General of Ecuador, Diana Salazar.[3][4][5]
The investigative phase covers a period of 90 days in the criminal process related to organized crime within the Purga case, which began on March 5, 2024. During this stage, preventive detention orders were issued for eight of those involved, three are subject to periodic presentation measures with a prohibition on leaving the country. Additionally, one person was placed under house arrest.[6] The Purga case begins with a fiscal file consisting of 490 volumes.[6]
