On July 25, Daniel Salcedo appeared before the Prosecutor's Office in Quito to give his statement in two confidential investigations. His attorney, Renato Montero, stated that the testimony focused on cases of corruption in the public hospital system and the leak of classified information.
Salcedo attended as a third party with knowledge of the facts, providing information already previously mentioned before the Assembly's Oversight Commission. According to Montero, his client seeks to actively cooperate with the justice system.
Regarding the health system, Montero explained that Salcedo did not refer to a specific hospital, but to alleged widespread corruption practices. Although a possible loss of up to $1.6 billion was discussed, Salcedo is not being prosecuted; he only provided his testimony.
In a second proceeding, Salcedo referred to a case related to the dissemination of confidential information, in which journalist Andersson Boscán would be involved. Montero indicated that his client is not a party to the proceedings, but was summoned for his knowledge of the context.
