Investigation into the crime of Efraín Ruales sheds new clues about the masterminds

After the investigations established the participation of three people as the material authors of the murder of the television presenter, Efraín Ruales, the Police are on the trail of who would have acted as intermediaries in the crime
 Regarding the intellectual authors, there are investigative lines underway, but we will have to wait for all the information to be confirmed until this part of the case can be clarified, reported the former Minister of Government, Patricio Pazmiño, before leaving office.
 However, the route to establish how contacts and transactions were made points to intermediaries within the jail. That is, those who put the mastermind in contact with the hit men.
 "We know that intermediaries may be in the penitentiary system, they may have been contacted from the level of the intellectual side," revealed the Police Commander, Patricio Carrilllo.

Apparently, the mastermind of the crime would have paid almost $ 25,000 to the criminal gang. The amount that the hit men would have received was revealed by one of the three detainees in this case.
 
A part of that value, $ 6,400, was found in the ceiling of the house where alias Casquete was taking refuge (in whose possession was the vehicle in which Ruales's murderer was transporting). The rest of the money has not yet been located.
 
At the moment, aliases 'Casquete', 'Alvarito' and 'Ñorqui' remain under preventive detention, while their levels of participation in the perpetration of the murder, which occurred on January 27, north of Guayaquil, are investigated.
 
As Carrillo has indicated, the motivations for the murder can be multiple, such as: negotiation resistance, a bad relationship with a partner, debts, bad coexistence and activities
