SpainAlleged Tiguerones boss William Alcívar, “Willy,” lives freely.
Ecuador seeks him on terrorism charges over the 2024 takeover of a live television broadcast.
Spain accepted two extradition requests on condition of human rights guarantees, which arrived too late, so he went free in December 2025.
In March, Willy told Spanish media he denies involvement in the attack and runs a used-car business from Colombia.
Ecuador’s government says it continues to pursue his extradition.
