What Zambrano did was to reportedly find technicalities in Cristian Suquisupa’s documents that allowed him to go free. From the read of the news, and considering Ecuador’s corrupt political and judicial system, it looks like Nicolas Zambrano, along with his colleague Judge Leonardo Ordonez was caught helping a friend in Cristian Suquisupa, because a third judge, Luis Legna, disagreed with their order, and it would seem filed a complaint.
In other words he ratted on them.
The dismissal, done while both judges were on vacation, does not render the Chevron Ecuador damage award void.
