Ecuador president accuses predecessor of planting spy camera

Ecuador's President Lenin Moreno angrily denounced his predecessor on Friday for planting a hidden video camera in his office so that he could spy on him remotely.

"Shocked and furious," Moreno wrote in a message on Twitter to denounce the discovery of the device, which he said violated his privacy.

Later in a televised appearance from Guayaquil he said the camera had been monitored remotely by former President Rafael Correa on his cellphone. He did not explain or provide any evidence to back the accusation.

Correa, who moved to Europe after handing off power to his hand-picked successor in May, mocked the accusation on his Twitter account.

Correa and Lenin were thought to be best buddies, but only some months into Lenin's presidency and we can see just how different they are.
