27 AUG24- "A new method to drug victims with scopolamine: this time, not by spiking drinks, but by applying scopolamine to old sterling coins:
Scopolamine Incident in Quito: Woman Loses $6,000 in a New Theft Modality
The victim was drugged with scopolamine while conducting an errand in Quito's Historic Center.
What initially seemed like a "gathering of friends" ended with a report of a new robbery method in Quito involving the use of scopolamine, a drug used by criminals to disorient their victims.
According to Teleamazonas, security cameras captured the moment when two women took advantage of a person, entered her home, and stole $6,000.
The 66-year-old victim recounts that it all began when she was approached by the two suspects in the Historic Center.
The women approached her and showed her a sterling, an old English coin. After coming into contact with this item, the victim felt unwell and lost control of her actions.
They took her home
Subsequently, the two women accompanied the elderly woman to her home. Cameras captured them arriving in a taxi and entering the residence.
The suspects made the victim retrieve her bank documents, and then they went to a financial institution to withdraw the money.
Germán León, head of the Manuela Sáenz District, explained that this theft method involves profiling the victim. The criminals take advantage of individuals who are alone and approach them to commit the crime.
In this case, it is suspected that the substance was applied to a coin, which was then offered for sale to a potential victim. This allows the criminals to make contact and exploit the citizens."

For corrupt judges & lawyers- "...So, let's use the same logic with my "buddies." If as a lawyer you are found guilty of having bribed a judge or prosecutor or you are that judge or prosecutor bribed, it is impossible for us to think that it is coherent that we can once again entrust them with their participation in the system of administration of justice.
A corrupt judge, lawyer or prosecutor must be banned for life from practicing the profession. Let them go out to sweep streets or pass cafes, but in this profession they cannot participate again. Because without Justice there is no State and they have made sure that Ecuador is a failed State.
But I am more radical: I propose that the perpetual inability to practice the profession ...
