This shocking turn of events has jolted fans who once cheered his every touch on the pitch.\nAccording to local reports, authorities moved swiftly to apprehend the ex-star following an alleged string of bold holdups in Quito.

Nicknamed “El Diablito”-“The Little Devil”-the former Ecuadorian footballing icon has been taken into custody by national police on allegations of armed robbery. The arrest, confirmed early Tuesday morning, marks a dramatic fall from grace for a player once celebrated across South America for his electrifying skills and mischievous on-pitch antics.\nAccording to officials, the ex-winger-who retired from professional football less than five years ago-is accused of leading a group that targeted several businesses in Quito. Authorities declined to discuss specifics, but sources close to the investigation suggest that surveillance footage and witness statements pointed investigators toward the former athlete.\nFans first encountered “El Diablito” during his teenage debut with Club Sport Emelec, where his pace and daring earned him comparisons with Brazilian great Roberto Carlos. He went on to enjoy spells with Spanish second-division sides before returning home to close out his career.
