Overview

• Erick Moreno Hernández was arrested on 24 September in San Lorenzo in a joint operation that traced his finances, and he remains in preventive detention at the Martín Mendoza prison in Emboscada.
• Paraguayan officials say the United States, Peru, Colombia, Mexico and Brazil have lodged extradition requests, while his use of false documents allows for an administrative expulsion that could occur within 24 hours.
• Police seized phones and documents during the raid, and the devices are being held for transfer to Peruvian authorities for forensic analysis pending judicial orders.
• Paraguayan investigators report Moreno repeatedly tried to bribe officers, with offers described as up to a million dollars or to quintuple the bounty on his head.
• Claims of information leaks from Peruvian police are under scrutiny following remarks by Moreno and a Paraguayan journalist, as Peruvian ministries coordinate legal steps and INPE readies a security plan for potential placement at the Callao naval facility.
