Ecuadors Vice President Jorge Glas and 12 others were indicted Tuesday for unlawful association in the giant corruption case involving Brazilian constructor Odebrecht.
Judge Miguel Jurado's move makes Glas -- who has been in preventive custody since October 2 -- the highest-ranking politician to be connected to the multimillion-dollar Odebrecht kickbacks case, which has cast a cloud over politicians in a handful of Latin American countries.
