He argued that Noboa\u2019s executive order Tuesday was a mistake, because it grants an elevated \u201cpolitical status\u201d to the country\u2019s gangs, by defining them as terrorists, and grants expanded powers to security forces suffering from alleged corruption at the highest levels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpds-c-PJLV article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-testid=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overrideStyles font-copy\" dir=\"null\">\u201cThey think they are commanders of a force that should be obedient to them,\u201d he said of Noboa and his predecessor. \u201cBut they find [the security forces] have their own agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpds-c-PJLV article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-testid=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overrideStyles font-copy\" dir=\"null\">Despite three security rings in the country\u2019s prisons, Ecuador\u2019s most important gang leader managed to escape, \u201cmocking the security of prison guards, police and military,\u201d Cordero-Heredia said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpds-c-PJLV article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-testid=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overrideStyles font-copy\" dir=\"null\">\u201cThis only shows that the country\u2019s security forces are not at the service of the government,\u201d he said, \u201cbut are heavily infiltrated and at the service of organized crime.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpds-c-PJLV article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-testid=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overrideStyles font-copy\" dir=\"null\"><i>Ana Vanessa Herrero in Caracas, Venezuela contributed to this report.
