On 18 June 2018, under Article 131 of the Ecuadorian constitution, Montaño presented a request to the National Assembly for the impeachment of Attorney General Diego García for his role in the Odebrecht scandal, backed by 37 signatures, 23 annexes, and 1467 pieces of evidence.[7] García had already resigned from the Attorney Generalship on 31 January 2018 after a decade at the post,[8] but the Legislative Administration Council, the governing body of the National Assembly, approved the request on 18 September 2018,[9] passing it to the Supervisory Commission the next day.[10]
