Ecuador's judiciary has issued an arrest warrant for former president Rafael Correa, who lives in Belgium, accusing him of organizing the attempted kidnapping of a political opponent in 2012. The court stated late last night that it had notified the international criminal police (Interpol) and that an international arrest warrant had been issued for the former president who was in power from 2007 to 2017. Correa is charged with criminal conspiracy and attempted kidnapping of former deputy Fernando Balda. The former member of parliament, an opponent of the president's policies at the time, claims that in 2012 in Bogota, five people forced him to get into a vehicle by order of the president, but he was released after the intervention of the Colombian police. The former socialist president moved to Belgium in May 2017 after leaving power.
