The Specialized Trial Court for Organized Crime, composed of judges Federico Rojas, Dina Marchuk, and María Luz Martínez, has summoned the start of the oral trial of Alexandre Rodríguez Gomes, son of the late deputy Eulalio Lalo Gomes, for June 3. He is charged with alleged international drug trafficking, money laundering, criminal association, and other crimes.
The prosecution alleges that the Gomes clan — formed by the father, the son, and the company Paraguay Autopartes y Accesorios SA — inserted G. 175.526 million into the financial system through transactions carried out between 2015 and 2021. Additionally, there are suspicions that they laundered money for drug trafficker Jarvis Chimenes Pavão during the pandemic. Pavão was extradited to Brazil in December 2017.
The investigation indicates that Alexandre Rodríguez Gomes would lead a transnational criminal organization, composed of Paraguayans, Brazilians, and Bolivians, dedicated to acquiring drugs such as cocaine, coca paste, and marijuana, from production areas to distribution and placement in various consumer markets.
At the trial, 383 pieces of evidence will be presented, in addition to seven international cooperation requests. For forfeiture, five establishments are offered. Seven properties under the name of FRG Constructora SA, 19 vehicles, and cattle have also been seized, whose evidentiary elements will be presented by the prosecution during the proceedings.
