Noboa sanctions the Anti-Mafia Law against organized crime

The President of the Republic, Daniel Noboa Azín, enacted the Organic Reform Law to various legal bodies for the strengthening of the State’s institutional capacities against organized crime, known as the Anti-Mafia Law. The regulation was published in the Eighth Supplement No. 407 of the Official Registry on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, in accordance with Official Letter No. T. 442-SGJ-26-0426 sent by the Presidency of the Republic.

The official letter, dated in Geneva on November 11, 2026, and signed by the General Legal Secretary of the Presidency, Aldrin Gómez Valdiviezo, is addressed to the director of the Official Registry, Martha Jaqueline Vargas Camacho, and details the chain of the legislative process. Through Official Letter No. AN-MDMA-2026-0011-O, dated November 9, 2026, the president of the National Assembly, Mishel Mancheno Dávila, forwarded the project to the president for his enactment or objection, “in accordance with the provided constitutional process.”

The president enacted the project “in exercise of the attribution established in the final paragraph of article 137 of the Constitution of the Republic and in accordance with article 63 of the Organic Law of the Legislative Function.” Consequently, the General Legal Secretariat forwarded the authentic copy of the Law, the certified copy of the enacted law, the official letter from the National Assembly, and the corresponding certification of discussion, and requested that, once the publication process is completed, the authentic copy be returned to the legislative body.

A 45-page supplement

The publication was made as a specific supplement within the edition of the day, with the following official identification data:

Regulation: Organic Reform Law to various legal bodies for the strengthening of the State’s institutional capacities against organized crime, Anti-Mafia Law.
Edition: Eighth Supplement No. 407, Year II, 45 pages, Quito, Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
Sender: General Legal Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic, with the electronic signature of Aldrin Gómez Valdiviezo.
Presidential subscription: Daniel Noboa Azín, constitutional president of the Republic.
Publication: direction of the Official Registry, managed by Mgs. Jaqueline Vargas Camacho, acting director.

Declared scope of the reform

The official title identifies the regulation as “reformatory to various legal bodies,” meaning an organic law that simultaneously modifies the current regulatory framework in different areas, rather than a single legal body. The objective declared by the title itself is the strengthening of the State’s institutional capacities against organized crime.

The published copy incorporates, in addition to the text of the law, the supporting documents of the process: the referral letter from the Presidency, the communication from the National Assembly, and the certification of discussion required by the Organic Law of the Legislative Function.

Official publication and access

The Official Registry recalls in this edition that the Plenary of the Constitutional Court, through Administrative Resolution No. 010-AD-CC-2019, mandated the free nature of the virtual publication of the Official Registry and its products, as well as the elimination of its publication on paper substrate, as a right of free access to information. The edition retains the institutional legend “At the service of the country since July 1, 1895”.

The 45 pages of the supplement are incorporated into the country’s regulatory body of knowledge and are the official reference for any inquiry regarding the content and scope of the enacted law.

The enactment and publication of the Anti-Mafia Law closes the constitutional process of a regulation that reforms several laws simultaneously regarding organized crime; therefore, its text published in the Official Registry is the mandatory reference for judicial operators, State institutions, and the general public: whatever is not contained in that edition is not part of the current law.
