Deputy prosecutor Soledad Machuca was removed from the Economic Crimes and Anti-Corruption Unit (UDEA) and the Money Laundering area in a restructuring ordered by Attorney General Emiliano Rolón. She leaves a trail of sensitive cases stalled or controversially shelved, prompting calls for an audit and criticism from lawyers and politicians.
Emiliano Rolón Fernández
Fiscal general del Estado de Paraguay, dispuso los cambios de fiscales adjuntos mediante resolución.
Paraguay's Attorney General, Emiliano Rolón Fernández, removed Jorge Sosa García from the position of deputy prosecutor for Area X of the Alto Paraná department after three years of performance considered inefficient. The measure, formalized by Resolution No. 1652, aims to reorganize the Public Ministry and takes effect on May 26, 2026. The replacement will be Celso José Sanabria González, who previously served in Ñeembucú. The decision comes less than a month after Rolón Fernández's visit to Ciudad del Este, where he participated in an international prosecutors' meeting and met with local authorities. The Alto Paraná Regional Prosecutor's Office faces a backlog of cases, lack of infrastructure, and complaints from lawyers about slow investigations.
