The numbers of the hit men in Paraguay in 2022 present two aspects: the official one that speaks of a decrease. And private records that point out growth and territorial expansion.
Hit men in our country did not decrease, but rather expanded on various fronts. This is pointed out by the lawyer Joege Rolón Luna, who pointed out that he monitors this type of crime, and that his figures are far from what the National Police affirms.
“The cases of attacks by hitmen are increasing as a prior threat tool… We have episodes where they riddle vehicles, houses. According to the Police, last year there were 70 cases, according to my data, there were 112 cases of attacks by hit men,” Rolón Luna told 1080.
WHAT THEY COST
A recurring theme is presented as a question and it is the cost required by the evil “service” of contract killings.
Rolón Luna stressed that in this matter, the variants are wide, since the objectives differ from each other.
“There is no single answer, today they say that the murder of Jorge Rafaat cost a million dollars. For this they brought retired soldiers, anti-aircraft, it was planned for months. Others (“minor” cases) I hear that they commit for a couple of million guaranies,” he stressed.

The lawyer pointed out that the follow-up of the hit man phenomenon, which he has been carrying out for several years, presents new aspects, one of which is the geographical expansion of the problem.
“The difference with my data is enormous. The Police indicate 70, I have 112 cases, only in Amambay it is 82… Hitting is not only killing, but the attack itself, it varies a lot if that precision is made, ”he said.
