Paraguay’s Comptroller General’s Office (CGR) has fined 27 former lawmakers — senators and deputies — for failing to submit their sworn asset declarations on time. The penalties range from 5 million to over 29 million guaranis, and three of the former legislators have yet to regularize their situation.

The Comptroller General of the Republic is studying legal measures to impose fines and sanctions on former public officials who leave office without updating their sworn declaration of assets, a practice that hinders the detection of illicit enrichment. Currently, the law only requires the submission of the document for salary payment, but does not provide for punishment for those leaving public service.
