DTC - It seems Ecuador would not co-operate:-
“The Ministry of Justice notices that Ecuador maintains its position that a specific agreement must be undertaken between Sweden and Ecuador in order for Ecuador to grant legal assistance in accordance with the Swedish request,” it said.
“The Ministry of Justice can only reiterate that it is not customary to establish a specific agreement concerning any individual request for legal assistance. Such an agreement must be considered redundant, given the specified content of the Swedish request and common practices”
The Swedish communiqué then hardened its position.
“The Ministry of Justice kindly asks once more Ecuador to reconsider its position,” it states. “If not, the Ministry of Justice would have to conclude that Ecuador is not prepared to grant the legal assistance requested by Sweden.”
