Paraguay authorities seize luxury assets in Ueno Bank investigation
Authorities in Paraguay have seized a variety of high-end assets as part of an ongoing investigation into the dissolution of Ueno Bank. The probe follows a political crisis that led to the impeachment and removal of former President Santiago Peña, who was sent to preventive detention by a judge.
Seized items include nine luxury vehicles valued at approximately 1.4 million dollars, such as a Porsche 911 GT3, a Bentley Continental GT, and a Mercedes-Benz Brabus 500 G. These vehicles were located at the Asunción residence of Miguel Vázquez, a founder of the bank.
Additional seizures include an Azimut yacht named ‘Zeus’ found in San Juan del Paraná and two aircraft: a Beechcraft model 300 and a Beechcraft model B55 belonging to the Vázquez Group. Investigators are also examining a credit portfolio transfer of approximately 74.4 million dollars linked to the firm Vinanzas S.A., which is associated with the Vázquez Group.
