FORMER Ecuadorean president Rafael Correa called his successor Lenin Moreno a “traitor” on Wednesday over the jailing of Vice-President Jorge Glas.

In a television interview with CNN Spanish, Mr Correa deepened his row with his Pais Alliance party colleague, saying: “I now realise that he’s a compulsive liar.”

Mr Glas was remanded in custody on Monday over allegations he took bribes from Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht, which is implicated in huge government kickback scandals across the Americas.
