Ecuador ex vice president Glas stays in jail even after arrest ruled illegal

A tribunal in Ecuador on Friday ruled the arrest of former vice president Jorge Glas last week was illegal, but said he must remain in jail due to his previous convictions.

Glas, already twice convicted of corruption and now facing fresh charges, was arrested a week ago during a raid by police on Mexico's Quito embassy, where he had been living since December.
