The United States has officially designated the gang Chone Killers, operating in Ecuador, as a "foreign terrorist organization," as announced by the State Department on July 1, 2026. This classification involves a series of sanctions against the group, which the U.S. accuses of engaging in various criminal activities that are believed to threaten regional stability and security.
The designation further adds Chone Killers to a distinct blacklist of global terrorist organizations listed by U.S. authorities. The Ecuadorian government has welcomed this decision, expressing gratitude for the support from Washington in addressing the challenges posed by such criminal groups in the country. The move is seen as part of a broader effort to combat organized crime and bolster security in Ecuador.
