Paraguay's Attorney General, Emiliano Rolón, signed this Monday (18) a set of resolutions promoting a broad internal reorganization of the Public Ministry, effective from May 26, 2026. The measures aim to optimize human resources in light of institutional demand and include the creation of new tactical units in the capital.
The most impactful move occurred in the Specialized Unit for Economic Crimes and Anti-Corruption (UDEA) and the Money Laundering Unit. Deputy Prosecutor Nancy Graciela Salomón Marín was appointed head of these strategic areas, replacing María Soledad Machuca Vidal. Salomón also retains leadership of the team investigating clandestine gambling (quiniela and slot machines).
Machuca Vidal, in turn, will coordinate the Transitional Criminal Unit of Asunción, the Execution Units nationwide, and the specialized departments for Human Rights, Indigenous Peoples, and Environmental Crimes in Asunción and Central. She retains her national competencies in Human Trafficking, Intellectual Property, Smuggling, and Cassation.
In the territorial restructuring, Deputy Prosecutor Jorge Sosa García was transferred to assume leadership of Area XVI, corresponding to the department of Ñeembucú. Meanwhile, Celso José Sanabria González left his previous position to become the highest authority of Area X, with an operational base in the department of Alto Paraná, a region of intense border and commercial activity.
Resolution No. 1653 formalized the creation of new tactical units in Asunción. Lorenzo Darío Lezcano Sánchez and Federico Tadeo Delfino Ginés were appointed heads of Specialized Cybercrime Units No. 4 and No. 5, respectively. Silvio Rubén Alegre Santacruz took over temporarily as head of Money Laundering Unit No. 8. Digno Jorge Duo Pérez was assigned to the Prosecutor's Office of Paraguarí, and Erico Alfredo Ávalos Alvarenga will lead Environmental Crimes in Alto Paraná.
All affected agents have eight days to submit a detailed inventory of ongoing cases and evidence under their custody.
