A judge in Ecuador on Monday ruled former vice president Jorge Glas will face trial for alleged misuse of public funds allocated to rebuild areas affected by a devastating 2016 earthquake.
Glas is currently in prison serving out convictions in two prior corruption cases.
The attorney general’s office had asked that Glas and eight other ex-officials, some of whom are outside the country, face charges in the case.
