Overview

• Paraguayan authorities detained Erick Luis Moreno Hernández in a rented house in San Lorenzo and a judge placed him in preventive custody at the Martín Mendoza de Emboscada high‑security prison.
• Police in Paraguay say Moreno attempted to bribe arresting officers with up to $1 million, according to investigation chief Hugo Grance.
• The capture resulted from a months‑long, cross‑border operation that followed the route of illicit funds with coordination among Peru, Paraguay, Brazil, and Interpol.
• Peru approved an extradition request on August 27 (Resolución Suprema N° 169‑2025‑JUS) and is coordinating either formal extradition or an expedited expulsion to accelerate his return.
• Authorities are examining seized electronic evidence and reports of police leaks in Peru, and investigators say Moreno used a false identity despite an Interpol red notice and a S/1,000,000 reward.
