ASUNCION, Paraguay (AP) — Paraguayan authorities say they have expelled the father of Ecuador’s vice president because he is wanted in his home country on charges of sexually abusing a 13-year-old girl.

The director of Interpol’s Paraguay office, Fabio Sanabria, said Jorge Glas Viejo was put on a plane to Ecuador Tuesday night after he was detained in the capital of Asuncion for immigration violation.
