Paraguayan President acknowledges reports on money laundering

Paraguay-lavado-de-dinero
Asunción, Jul 2 (Prensa Latina) The president of Paraguay, Mario Abdo Benítez, admitted that his government processed 10,000 reports of suspicious operations on money laundering, the ABC Color newspaper published today.

These reports on criminal activities, about 200 of which became formal complaints, were conceived “under the legal mantle of the commitment to provide information for criminal prosecution,” said the president.

The 200 intelligence reports detected through this management contain concrete indications of money laundering, the newspaper specifies in its edition this Saturday, when reviewing an annual report of the president the day before before Congress.

Abdo Benítez revealed other data detected on organized crime, including scandalous cases of money laundering and drug trafficking, a subject on which the media published complaints about the complicity of the Prosecutor’s Office in these events.

The president tried on the latter to minimize the tone -ABC Color affirms- and not present it as a direct criticism of the State Attorney General’s Office, by showing himself as “an ally of justice” and renewing his “faith in all judges and prosecutors “.
