Paraguayan commission to investigate former government’s corruption

Asuncion, Sep 19 (Prensa Latina) The Paraguayan Congress will create a bicameral commission to investigate allegations of financial embezzlement and other alleged acts of corruption in several public institutions in 2022, the HOY newspaper reported on Tuesday.

The Legislature will set up the parliamentary commission this week to investigate those accusations, which are contained in a report by the Comptroller General’s Office, which targets former President Mario Abdo Benítez specifically, said House of Deputies President Raúl Latorresaid, who was quoted by the newspaper.

Parliamentary authorities have already approved the bicameral commission and are only waiting for the presidents of the House of Deputies and the Senate to present the proposals of the representatives of their parties to integrate the working group.

The new Congress, which will debate the opinion of the Comptroller General and a financial report from the Ministry of Finance for the 2022 fiscal year, will try to determine how the institutions mentioned in the documents worked, the legislator pointed out.
