The head of Novaestrat, the data analytics company at the centre of the huge leak revealed on Monday involving personal information about more than 20 million Ecuadorian citizens, has been taken into custody.
Once the leak was made known, the country's federal authorities announced a formal investigation. Within hours, local police swooped on Novaestrat's office to confiscate computer equipment, with Ecuador's interior minister Maria Paula Romo dramatically tweeting pictures of the raid in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
