Former President Lenín Moreno has vehemently rejected allegations that he accepted bribes from a Chinese company in exchange for awarding a contract to construct a major hydroelectric plant. The accusations, which surfaced amid ongoing investigations into corruption within the country’s energy sector, center on claims of improper influence over public procurement processes. Moreno’s denial comes as legal proceedings examine financial transactions linked to the project, raising questions about transparency in high-stakes infrastructure deals. The case has drawn attention to broader concerns over foreign involvement in domestic contracts and the integrity of government decision-making.
