Paraguayan authorities have seized airplanes, luxury vehicles, a yacht, and documentation as part of the investigation into the closure of Ueno bank. This scandal has led to the dismissal of former president Santiago Peña and former head of the Central Bank, Carlos Carvallo. Peña has been sent to pre-trial detention as the investigation proceeds.

According to records from the Public Ministry and the Police, 9 “high-end” vehicles have been seized to date, including a Porsche 911 GT3, a Bentley Continental GT, an armored Mercedes-Benz Brabus 500 G, a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, a BMW M8, a Lexus LX, a Toyota Tacoma, and a Toyota RAV4, among others.

The cars, still without license plates and valued at 1.4 million dollars by local media, were found at the Asunción residence of Miguel Vázquez, one of the founders of Ueno bank, and handed over to the National Secretariat for the Administration of Seized and Confiscated Assets (Senabico).

An Azimut brand yacht, named ‘Zeus’, also believed to belong to Vázquez, was also seized. It was docked in a private condominium in the town of San Juan del Paraná, in the department of Itapúa, in the south of the country.

Investigators also embargoed two aircraft: a Beech Aircraft Corporation, model 300, manufactured in 1984 and registered in the name of Ueno, and a Beechcraft, model B55, from 1979, owned by Grupo Vázquez, owner of the defunct entity.

As part of the judicial case, different raids have been ordered, among them, to an office of the Vásquez Group, owner of Ueno Holding, which brings together several companies such as Ueno bank, where, among other things, a vault with “diverse documents” whose content was not immediately revealed was found.

The searches extended to companies such as Technoma, “allegedly linked to the Ueno Group”, according to the Prosecutor’s Office, and Itti, a technology firm that provided services to Ueno and was part of the Vázquez Group.

In Itti, documents, laptops, servers, cell phones, among others, were seized, according to sources from the Prosecutor’s Office.

The local newspaper ABC Color pointed out that the proceedings would extend to another 13 companies related to the business group, without specifying further details.
