Paraguay Crash Claims Lives of German Diplomat's Family

A drunk driver killed four people, including a German consul's family, sparking fears of political influence shielding justice.

Eugenio V., a 68-year-old businessman, crashed into two cars while driving with 1.2 promille alcohol in his blood, killing four people.
The victims include German diplomat Kristin B., her husband, their 2-year-old son, and a 57-year-old woman in a second vehicle.
The diplomat's 8-year-old daughter survived with severe injuries and remains in intensive care.
The driver is politically well-connected in Paraguay, raising concerns among victims' families about potential preferential treatment in legal proceedings.
Germany's Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock expressed condolences and the Foreign Office has sent support to assist the bereaved family.
