Two suspects were detained in the district of Independencia, Guairá, over a possible connection to at least four aggravated robberies that mainly targeted German families and citizens; weapons, ammunition, cellphones and clothing were seized, and the case remains under investigation.

The municipality of Asunción, under the administration of Mayor Luis Bello, allocated 90% of the municipal budget to payroll and administrative expenses between January and April 2026, leaving less than 8% for urban infrastructure investments.

Councilman Álvaro Grau described as a "veiled threat" the note sent to the Asunción City Hall by the representative of the municipal bondholders, José Montero, who accepts payment of more than G. 90 billion for the overdue bond debt but reserves the right for creditors to take future legal action.
