Argentina Deports Family of Fugitive Ecuadorean Gang Leader Amid Surge in Violence

Ecuador's nationwide manhunt for 'Fito' continues as country grapples with escalating gang violence.

Argentina has detained and deported the family and associates of fugitive Ecuadorean gang leader Adolfo Macías, also known as 'Fito'.
Fito, who escaped from an Ecuadorean prison earlier this month, is the head of the Los Choneros gang and has been linked to a surge in gang violence across Ecuador.
Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa has declared a state of emergency and called for a nationwide search for Fito.
Argentina's security minister stated that the country will not be a haven for criminals, reinforcing its stance against drug trafficking and organized crime.
Despite regaining control of the country's prisons after days of rioting, Ecuador's most wanted fugitive remains at large.
