In the early hours of Monday, unknown individuals fired multiple shots at Lavadero Conesul in Pedro Juan Caballero and left a note in Portuguese with collection threats. The attack comes days after the Pax Conesul funeral home, owned by the same person, was also targeted by gunfire. Police are investigating the motive.

Documents obtained show that the Presidency of the Republic of Paraguay issued an official credential to Juan Roberto “Jimmy” Villaverde, identified as responsible for the Sucia Política page and a network of pro-government websites, in July 2025. The revelation contradicts the version of President Santiago Peña and Mitic authorities, who denied any formal link with Villaverde.

President Santiago Peña acknowledged knowing Juan Roberto 'Jimmy' Villaverde, identified as an operator of a network of pages that attack journalists and opponents, but denied that he works for the government or has an office at Mburuvicha Róga. Public records show Villaverde managed Peña and Alliana's social media during the campaign and held public positions.
