Paraguay's Attorney General, Emiliano Rolón Fernández, ordered the removal of Jorge Sosa García from the position of deputy prosecutor for Area X of the Alto Paraná department through Resolution No. 1652. The change, which takes effect on May 26, 2026, occurs after three years of management marked by criticism of inefficiency and structural neglect at the Ciudad del Este Prosecutor's Office headquarters.
In an official statement, the Public Ministry justified the measure as necessary to ensure the “harmonious and effective functioning of the institution” and to meet the workload demands at the prosecutor's offices. To replace Sosa García, Celso José Sanabria González was appointed, who previously headed Area XVI of the Ñeembucú department.
Sosa García assumed the post in March 2023, and since then, the Ciudad del Este Prosecutor's Office headquarters has shown signs of deterioration and lack of management. Lawyers in the region complain about the slowness and insufficiency of investigative efforts in criminal cases. The unit, one of the most overloaded in the country, lacks basic resources such as a forensic laboratory and morgue for crime cases.
The decision was made less than a month after Rolón Fernández's nearly week-long visit to Ciudad del Este, where he participated in an international prosecutors' meeting and took the opportunity to meet with authorities and representatives from various sectors of the city.
