The institution develops a project to prevent legal processes from reaching legal authorities. The IDB finances the proposal.
Currently, the Attorney General of the State (PGE) represents the country in 102,450 processes nationals and 34 international assets established against him; this without counting the processes historical data and those that take place in the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR). Together they represent $ 57 billion in lawsuits.
Some of those cases will be resolved in favor of the country and others will not. And to avoid the costs of losing some of those demands, in certain cases, and arbitrationsIn others, the entity develops the draft called ‘Prosecutor of the Future‘. This basically consists, in the words of the prosecutor Íñigo Salvador, in modernizing the management of the organization with the aim of avoiding that the greatest possible amount of processes reach the legal authorities.
Thus, it seeks to «prevent Ecuador from wasting its means in costly litigation. ‘ According to Salvador, this provides for “a reduction of at least 1% of cases, (which) will allow a saving approximate to the country of $ 570 million a year ».
The draft has the support of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), which granted a loan of $ 5 billion, which will be used to execute the process, which began in 2019 and ends in 2023. (LAG)
