On May 28, Acción Popular reported that it temporarily suspended the militancy of the six congressmen who have been accused of being ‘Los Niños’ for the testimony of karelim lopez as an effective collaborator.

The measure reaches Vergara himself, in addition to Raúl Doroteo, Ilich López, Juan Mori, Darwin Espinoza and Jorge Flores Ancachi. The statement was signed by the general secretary of the party, Edmundo del Águila Morote.

However, Elvis Vergara did not accept the measure stating that said document “has no validity”. “Mr. Edmundo del Águila does not have any type of representation in the party and you can corroborate that before the party instances such as the National Elections Jury”he stated.

In the first place, said judicial instance approved the coercive measure for 36 months against the former head of the MTC, who is being investigated by the National Prosecutor, Pablo Sánchez, for the alleged commission of the crimes of collusion and criminal organization.

Meanwhile, the same request was declared founded for nine months against the accionpopulista legislators Raul Doroteo and Darwin Espinoza.

The measure was rejected Elvis Vergara, Juan Carlos Mori, Jorge Flores Ancachi and Ilich López. All of them are being investigated for the alleged crime of aggravated influence peddling.
