00:00They are already moving, they left 40 minutes ago Ciudad del Este
00:04and they are heading to Asunción, where they will be holding a house arrest
00:09in the same place, in the same apartment,
00:12according to what his lawyer has revealed.
00:15We were talking about the Tierra Alta building, which is a premium building
00:19located in one of the best neighborhoods of Asunción, in the Del Maestro area.
00:24Both, both Yara Ginzel and Senator Cuéllar, are already on their way to Asunción, my friend.
00:30Good. Well, what is the situation at this moment of the senator?
00:33What did he pay? What is the situation in Paraguay?
00:37If there is a situation in Paraguay.
00:39I tell you that both received a bail of $ 150,000 each.
00:44This was made ineffective.
00:47It is the only way to be able to have left where they were
00:51holding an arrest. From now on, this measure is granted because the lawyer
00:56with whom we were talking, Dr. Niel Centurión,
00:59mentioned to us that there was no danger of escape
01:02and that with this bail of $ 150,000 each,
01:05Judge Humberto Tazú, who is in charge of the case,
01:09agreed that both be transferred to Asunción.
01:12This transfer to Asunción occurs because the fines that are handled in this case
01:17are very high.
01:19We know that they are $ 211,000,
01:21which had been seized in this procedure,
01:25which started as a procedure of infection and fight against smuggling
01:29of, well, fruits and vegetables.
01:32And in all this, it is that around 12.30, past midnight,
01:37they fell into this operation and could not
01:41at that moment justify where the money came from.
01:45Also, yesterday, the day, yesterday, the test was carried out
01:50and what they said to the prosecution
01:54was that this money belonged to the Golden Sur company,
01:58which is owned by Yara Guinzel,
02:01and that she usually does this type of procedure where you have to go to buy merchandise.
02:06It is a company that is dedicated, as they have mentioned,
02:10to buy perfumery items, cosmetics.
02:13However, these papers have not yet been presented to any judicial authority.
02:19There is also a cause that the Prosecution opens,
02:22the Anti-Smuggling Prosecutor's Office here in the country
02:25and surely the UIF, the Financial Information Unit,
02:30also begins to investigate the origin of these funds,
02:34which, according to Yara Guinzel,
02:37had been given to her in Paraguay
02:41for the purchase, allegedly, of items in Ciudad del Este
02:46for the company she represents.
02:48It is not believed that the money clearly came from Argentina.
02:51That is why the Prosecution opens this investigation.
02:54But their official version is that they went with that money to buy products.
02:57To buy products in Ciudad del Este for the company it represents.
03:02It is not clear what type of products.
03:04I think he talked about beauty items, perfumery, something like that.
03:09A ridiculous amount, practically,
03:12because we are talking about $200,000, $600,000,
03:16I think $200 in Guaraníes, more or less,
03:18and a truck also valued at $40,000
03:21on behalf of this woman who is an administrative employee in the Senate,
03:25who has a relationship with him, right?
03:27This also comes hand in hand with a cause that already exists,
03:29for enrichment carried out by Judge Arroyo Salgado of San Isidro
03:34and a complaint in the province of Entre Ríos also for the same cause.
03:37The man was already being investigated,
03:39by chance, he escaped with the money, well, let's see.
03:42I don't understand, I think that the Paraguayan colleague,
03:44Claudia Meganejo, expressed herself correctly,
03:47but I ask to reaffirm, for the doubts.
03:50$150,000 each or both?
03:54And that's how it is, in total they are $300,000.
03:58In cash, Claudia, in cash, in addition?
04:00Yes, he has put it as a caution.
04:02Figures as a trustee, the lawyer Ricardo Preda, right?
04:06Yes, he is the defense lawyer.
04:08Yesterday we were talking with one of the lawyers,
04:12there are four in total, two in Ciudad del Este and two in Asunciones,
04:15a political team that would be working with them,
04:18and it is correct, $150,000 for each of the people who are being sued today,
04:23which speaks of an investigation that should last four months.
04:27For now, the indictment is of smuggling in the degree of sensitive.
04:31It means that they tried to make a smuggling, it was not fulfilled, right?
04:36So that's why it's in the degree of sensitive.
04:39If they can somehow justify this money, right?
04:43How it has entered, that would be like smuggling,
04:46and in that case the Paraguayan state will have,
04:49basically, like this Chevrolet truck,
04:52which is an Argentine citizen, but that had a power,
04:56and the Guinzel to be able to handle it both in Paraguayan territory and in Argentine territory.
05:03In the event that the origin of these funds cannot be proven,
05:08or that it is shown that they come from some business activity,
05:11there we would already be talking about money laundering,
05:14but this is a step that only the investigation will be able to take
05:17as the file in which they are involved progresses.
05:22Of course, a technical delight, but important.
05:25Money laundering is actually the product of a previous crime.
05:29Exactly, it comes from an illicit activity.
05:33Money laundering, when there is a previous crime,
05:36bribery, smuggling, tax evasion, robbery, etc., whatever, but...
05:41Of course, money laundering can be organized crime, drug trafficking,
05:46all of that can come from an illicit activity,
05:49and money laundering is consolidated when the origin of those funds is proven.
05:53In this case, what we do have to clarify is that it is not prohibited to enter money,
05:58regardless of whether it is very striking that someone has a backpack in a bag,
06:01211,000 dollars, that is not prohibited.
06:04What is illegal is not to declare it,
06:07because what the law says is that up to 10,000 dollars,
06:10you can enter money without having to show the origin, without having to give any explanation.
06:16But here we are talking about the fact that this has greatly exceeded
06:19the maximum amount allowed by customs.
06:22This is a standard, right?
06:24At an international level, the issue of 10,000 dollars, right?
06:27I think that anyone who has gone out to a country knows that
06:31they have to report this,
06:32especially in the case of a parliamentarian, right?
06:34Managing that kind of amount so large.
