Former Ecuadorian President Lenín Moreno has been sentenced to five years in prison on corruption charges related to a bribery scandal involving China's state-owned hydroelectric company Sinohydro and the Coca Codo Sinclair dam project 1. Moreno, who served as president from 2017 to 2021, will serve his sentence under house arrest and has been barred from holding public office 1. A total of 20 defendants, including Moreno's wife, daughter, and brother, were convicted in the case 1.
The conviction centers on allegations that Sinohydro allegedly channeled $76.1 million in bribes through shell companies to secure the hydroelectric project contract 1. Those found guilty of receiving bribes are required to repay three times the amount they obtained 1. Moreno has denied involvement in the bribery scheme and has instead blamed former President Rafael Correa, who was separately sentenced to eight years in prison for bribery in 2020 1. Ecuador's government and Sinohydro's owner reached a $400 million settlement agreement this year 1.
