Ecuador recorded, on Friday night (12), the escape of six more prisoners who were in the Litoral penitentiary, in Guayaquil, Ecuador. The incident takes place in the same prison complex from where the country's most dangerous criminal, Adolfo Macías, known as “Fito”, managed to escape.
The country's national police reported that, in total, six prisoners escaped from the penitentiary and began land, river and air patrols in the area. So far, two have been recaptured.
