QUITO: Ecuador's President Guillermo Lasso on Wednesday (Thursday in Manila) refused to testify to a parliamentary committee that is investigating revelations about the 65-year-old in the Pandora Papers leaks. The committee was convened by the opposition-dominated congress to investigate ex-banker Lasso's activities in tax havens. Earlier this month, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists leaked a trove of documents exposing the secret offshore accounts of a host of world leaders including Lasso.
