Neither the Secretariat for the Prevention of Money and Property Laundering (Seprelad), nor the Central Bank of Paraguay (BCP), the Specialized Unit for Economic Crimes and Anticorruption of the Public Ministry, or the Subsecretariat of State for Taxation (SET) were aware of the millionaire movements that Ramón González Daher made in the financial system, granting loans for almost 20 years.

The Prosecutor’s Office only became aware of these millionaire movements in November 2019, shortly after Ramón’s brother, Colorado Senator Óscar González Daher, lost his seat in the National Congress and his influence on the Jury for the Prosecution of Magistrates (JEM ), involved in alleged influence peddling in the JEM leaked audio case.
For its part, in July of this year, the SET charged RGD G. 42,316 million, of which G. 39,549 million correspond to the debt recognized by the defendant, in an abbreviated process, and the rest is due to default.
OGD’s loss of investiture led to the downfall of the González Daher clan, which lost strength both in the judicial system and in politics.
During the trial against Ramón, it was found that the former sports leader made millionaire loans of exorbitant amounts such as 17 and 10 million dollars without the State agencies in charge of money laundering control noticing.
The Public Ministry must also clarify the actions of the managing directors of these control entities to identify their responsibilities.
