Thousands of Ecuadorian soldiers and police have been involved in a dawn operation to move a notorious gang leader to a maximum security jail.
Jose Adolfo Macias, known as "Fito", is accused of sending death threats to Ecuador’s murdered presidential candidate, Fernando Villavicencio.
The anti-corruption campaigner was shot three times in the head leaving a campaign rally on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the running mate of Villavicencio is to contest the presidential election in his place.
