Édgar Acosta, national deputy for the Liberal Party (PLRA) and candidate for governor for Central, urged Sandra Quiñónez, state attorney general, to rule on what is happening with Horacio Cartes, former president of the Republic, on his social networks.
“A statement from the Cartes group, which does not clarify anything. Other explanations definitely have to appear before the forcefulness of the report. We also await the explanations of the Public Ministry in relation to the case. I hope they understand that their obligation is to represent society,” he said.
Over the weekend, a report from the National Secretariat for the Prevention of Money Laundering (Seprelad) was leaked that mentions Grupo Cartes companies, which have nothing to do with the tobacco industry, people investigated in operations Patron, Lava Jato, Nepsys and A Ultranza Py and even deceased, who are on the list of main buyers of Tabacalera del Este SA, owned by the aforementioned former national president.
