With 34 votes in favor and 11 absences, the Chamber of Senators approved the draft resolution “That forms a delegation of Paraguayan senators to attend the Honorable Chamber of Senators of the United States of America and present before it the official report of the Bicameral Commission that investigates money laundering in Paraguay”.
The initiative was presented by Salyn Buzarquis due to the distrust generated by the work of the Public Ministry to investigate the Cartes Group.
It should be remembered that the Senate formed the Bicameral Commission for the Investigation of Money Laundering (CBI) on May 24. It will have 60 days to carry out the investigation once its members are elected. It must have six legislators, three senators and three deputies.
“If we stay to play the local game, we know how the story will end,” said Buzarquis.

Antonio Barrios, leader of the “Honor Colorado” bench, expressed his support for the initiative. He even, he ironically, claiming that it “can also be sent by rocket to the moon”, so that everyone finds out about a real investigation and not a tome.
“We believe in the Prosecutor’s Office and in the Paraguayan Justice,” he emphasized.
Sergio Godoy, also a senator for “Honor Colorado”, urged that each colleague pay for the travel expenses so that citizens do not pay out of pocket.
