Detention of Miguel Mora and items seized in the Ueno Bank case
Miguel Mora, a former member of the board of directors of the Central Bank of Paraguay (BCP), was detained on Tuesday during a fiscal procedure at his home, according to abc.com.py. Prosecutor Verónica Valdez confirmed that during the house search, electronic devices and documents linked to services provided to the BCP were seized.
"Some electronic devices and some documents relating to services that the gentleman had with the BCP were seized. There are elements that will now be evaluated by the team and a determination will be made today," Valdez stated.
Regarding the charges against Mora, the prosecutor indicated that the applicable criminal offences are still being analysed. "I do not wish to make clarifications at this moment regarding his conduct. I can tell you it is related to his responsibilities at the BCP," she asserted. Valdez added that the three former board members detained during the day would be called for questioning during the morning.
Mora is one of three former BCP executives arrested in the context of the investigation into the Ueno Bank case, together with Liana Caballero and Marco González. The latter surrendered voluntarily to the National Police.
The previous week, a fiscal delegation headed by prosecutors Christian Benítez and Laura Giacummo, with support from police officers, searched the home of Carlos Gustavo Fernández Valdovinos, former Minister of Economy and Finance and former president of the BCP. Fernández Valdovinos is mentioned in a complaint filed by several legislators, although to date he has not been formally charged.
"At the moment he is not charged, but he is being investigated as are other people who had relationships with him," prosecutor Valdez clarified. The determination regarding Mora's place of detention would be defined in the course of the day.
