Paraguay's Magistrates Council passed over prosecutor Deny Yoon Pak, who led the mega-operation A Ultranza against drug trafficking, and chose Aldo Cantero, known as 'Aldo Canta 50' for allegedly negotiating cases, to join the shortlist for judge. The decision drew criticism from legal experts and accusations that the body prioritizes political loyalties over merit.
