Mexico just ended the diplomatic relations with Ecuador after Ecuador stormed into the Mexican Embassy to arrest former VP Jorge Glas who was seeking asylum there.
This story is interesting and there is a deep rabbit hole.

In 2017, Ecuadorian VP Jorge Glas was sentenced of corruption for alleged bribes involving Brazilian corporation Odebrecht ( Remember their name! it becomes important) 
Not long before, Odebrecht again was implicated in the fake corruption scandal involving Lula which was just a judicial coup.
As @BRASILWIRE explains, the Odebrecht scandal seems to selectively target only people who are hostile to US interests in Latin America.

In 2016, Odebrecht was fined by the DOJ for an alleged bribery scheme. In exchange for leniency, they had to cooperate with all DOJ related investigations

Once again as @BRASILWIRE explains, under the FCA, US has made an deal with many countries. Anytime, dollars are used in a transaction, the DOJ can support an investigation .

Now, the following leftist politicians we were brought down with the only evidence against them was documents from Odebrecht saying they accepted bribes

Look at what we have year...after a 7 year witch-hunt, the Supreme Court found the evidence that Odebrecht gave prosecutors was totally made up.
Jorge Glas has been continuously targeted in a witch-hunt by Ecuador's right-wing regime. In December 2023, he asked for political asylum in Mexico.
Mexico gave him asylum earlier this week.
The climate of repression is harsh. Remember, the only evidence against Jorge Glas is a spreadsheet from Odebrecht.
