history
On July 20, 2011, Emilio Palacio , at that time head of the opinion department of El Universo, as well as the publishing brothers of the newspaper Carlos , César and Nicolás Pérez were sentenced to three years in prison and the payment of 28 million euros each for defamation. Both sides appealed. The occasion was an editorial called " No to the Lies " in which Palacio criticized Rafael Correa's behavior during the mutiny in early February. He called him a dictator several times and above all criticized the decision to storm the hospital by force.
On February 17, 2012, the Ecuadorian Supreme Court upheld the verdict. However, the four defendants were no longer within the reach of the Ecuadorian judiciary. Palacio and two of the directors were in the United States, where they had sought asylum, and the third director fled to the Panama embassy.
