Ecuador asks to enter Mexico embassy, arrest former Ecuador VP-local media

Ecuador has requested Mexico's permission to enter that country's embassy in Quito and arrest former Ecuadorean Vice-President Jorge Glas, local media reported on Friday, citing a document from Ecuadorean authorities.

Glas, convicted twice for corruption, asked Mexico for political asylum in December, arguing he is being persecuted by the attorney general's office.
