· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Ecuador's former president, Lenín Moreno, was sentenced to five years in prison for corruption related to bribes from the Chinese company Sinohydro during his vice presidency. Alongside him, his wife Rocío González and daughter Irina Moreno received 30-month sentences, while other family members were also penalized. The court ruled that Moreno directly influenced the awarding of a contract for the Coca Codo Sinclair hydroelectric plant, which cost around $2 billion. Moreno, who claims he did not receive any money, plans to appeal the decision. He returned to Ecuador in May after five years in Paraguay.
