The Ministry of Defense acknowledged that Miguel Ángel Nazareno evaded security by using the back of the complex’s facilities.
In a statement, in days past, the Ministry explained that an alert was generated by military intelligence. Specifically, an officer of the Armed Forces contacted the ECU9 11. Due to the presence of people in a suspicious attitude outside the Ministerial Complex, the Military Police Battalion immediately proceeded to inspect the vehicles and their occupants.
Concern in Ministry of Defense. Police request security footage. They can’t say they don’t exist. A vehicle with money would be stolen. Videos would help see who was getting paid. Did they help a fugitive in exchange for collecting their investments? Don Naza was in person? pic.twitter.com/5T31Y1hqBB

They verified the presence of money, so they proceeded to call the National Police due to the presumption of committing an illegal act. “While the inspection of vehicles and people was being carried out, citizen Miguel Ángel Nazareno evaded security by using the back of the facilities of the Ministry of National Defense.”
As a result of the inspections, the five citizens (three men and two women), two vehicles, and all the evidence found that allow the corresponding investigations in order to clarify the facts, were placed under the orders of the Police.
