QUITO - Ecuador’s President Lenin Moreno has blocked the extradition to the United States of a New York man charged with trying to defraud Facebook Inc founder Mark Zuckerberg, a document obtained by Reuters showed on Friday.
Moreno wrote in the June 4 document that he was denying the extradition of Paul Ceglia, who spent nearly 3-1/2 years as a fugitive before being arrested in Ecuador last year, for humanitarian and reciprocity reasons. “In an exercise of national sovereignty, attending to the principle of reciprocity in public international law and for humanitarian reasons ... I delegate to you Minister to deny the extradition,” Moreno wrote to in the letter to his interior minister.
The United States has not attended to several extradition requests for Ecuadorean citizens, Moreno said, adding that he has the power to deny an extradition regardless of proceedings in the National Justice Court.
