Los Choneros le enviaron un mensaje al presidente de Ecuador, Guillermo Lasso, por el traslado de alias 'Fito'.

"Mr. Guillermo Lasso, only in your head do you think that by transferring 'Fito,' you will solve the country's insecurity. Your incompetent, disastrous, and corrupt government is using this strategy as a smokescreen to cover up its crimes, linking up with other criminal organizations, and agreeing with those who really hurt the country," were the first words of 'Los Choneros.' Then in a more intimidating tone, the spokesperson for that criminal group blamed the president for what might happen to what they call "commander and dad Fito.”
