Ecuador’s National Court of Justice convicted former president Lenín Moreno of bribery tied to Sinohydro over the Coca Codo Sinclair hydroelectric project, with prosecutors alleging Moreno used his vice-presidency to influence financing in exchange for illicit payments to him and his relatives. The verdict points to bribes totaling around $75–76 million, and sentencing and disqualification from public office are among the penalties sought for Moreno and others involved.
