Correa Says Moreno INA Papers Probe Led to Facebook Page Block
The INA Papers alleges Morenoâs link to a firm which deposited millions to an offshore company,whose owner put money in Moreno’s brother’s shell company.
Early Friday, former Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa confirmed that his Facebook account had indeed been blocked, just one day after the ex-head of state publicly criticize Lenin Moreno for the withdrawal of asylum previously granted to WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange.
âThey blocked my Facebook page, 1.5 million followers. One more step of the brutal persecution, and another show of despair for case INA papers, of which the corrupt [Lenin] Moreno will not be able to escape. Only in this way will I announce a new page. Do not believe in “fakes,” Correa tweeted.
The INA Papers features prominently in a corruption probe that alleges Morenoâs link to Chinese company Sinohydroâs reported deposit of some US$18 million in offshore company Recorsa.
Bloquearon mi pĂĄgina facebook, 1,5 millones de seguidores
Un paso mĂĄs de la brutal persecuciĂłn, y otra muestra de desesperaciĂłn por caso INA papers, del cual el corrupto Moreno no podrĂĄ escapar.
Solo por esta vĂa anunciarĂŠ nueva pĂĄgina. No crean en âfakesâ https://t.co/9kxjqUJfpmâ Rafael Correa (@MashiRafael) April 12, 2019

En su odio porque Wikileaks publicĂł corrupciĂłn de INA papers, Moreno quiso destruir vida de Assange.
Probablemente lo logrĂł, pero tambiĂŠn le ha hecho un daĂąo enorme al paĂs. ÂżQuiĂŠn volverĂĄ a confiar en ECUADOR?
âAsiloâ, del griego ĂĄsylon: lugar inviolable

In his hatred, because Wikileaks published corruption of INA papers, Moreno wanted to destroy Assange’s life. He probably did it, but he has also done a huge damage to the country. Who will trust in ECUADOR again? “Asylum”, from Greek ĂĄsylon: inviolable place art. 41 Constitution��
Recorsa is linked to Conto PatiĂąo Martinez, who reportedly transferred money to a ghost company, INA Investments Corp, that is owned by Edwin Moreno Garces, brother of Moreno.
Thursday former President Correa heaped criticism on Moreno regarding the South American countryâs action against whistle-blower Assange.
“Itâs incredible. We cannot imagine something like this. Itâs against international law; itâs against the institution of asylum; itâs against the Ecuadorian constitution, especially because since last year, Julian Assange has had Ecuadorean citizenship,” Correa remarked. âItâs the biggest betrayal perhaps in Latin American history.â
Assange was expelled from the Ecuadorean embassy in London and arrested by the Metropolitan Police and subsequently faces extradition after being charged with “computer hacking conspiracy” in the United States, which carries a maximum prison sentence of five years.
Swedish prosecutors have also filed a request to re-open an alleged rape case against Assange.
