Ecuador's Notorious Fugitive Vanishes from Jail

Ecuador's "most-wanted prisoner," Jose Adolfo Macias, leader of the criminal group Los Choneros, has disappeared from a prison in Guayaquil, prompting authorities to launch a search operation. Macias, also known as "Fito," was serving a 34-year sentence for drug trafficking and murder. The Los Choneros group is linked to extortion, murder, and drug trafficking, and is accused of controlling the country's main prisons. Over 400 inmates have died in Ecuador's overcrowded prisons since 2021.

"Violent Spate in Monterrey Leaves 12 Bodies and Body Parts Scattered"

The mutilated corpses and dismembered body parts of 12 people were found in multiple locations across Monterrey, Mexico, in a spate of violence that has unsettled residents. The incidents, reminiscent of the city's violent past, are believed to be a coordinated attack stemming from an internal conflict within a criminal group based in the neighboring state of Tamaulipas. Messages left near the bodies suggest the Northeast Cartel may be responsible for the killings, seeking retribution for alleged infiltration.
