Overview
- Paraguayan police detained Vasques at Asunción’s Silvio Pettirossi International Airport as he tried to board an international flight, with most reports citing El Salvador as the destination and one outlet citing Panama.
- Brazil’s Federal Police said he broke his electronic ankle monitor in Santa Catarina, left the country without authorization, and triggered border alerts and coordination with the PF attaché in Paraguay.
- According to the PF director, he carried an original Paraguayan passport that did not match his identity when he was stopped.
- He was placed at the disposal of Paraguay’s Public Ministry and is expected to appear in a custody hearing before an anticipated transfer to Brazilian authorities, potentially via extradition.
- Earlier this month, Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court sentenced him to 24 years and 6 months for roles in the so-called operational nucleus that used PRF actions to hinder voting in 2022, alongside a prior civil conviction and fine for politicizing the PRF.
