According to the military statement, during the \u201crigorous content verification process\u201d the phone and other supplies were detected, and a record was drawn up and sent to the judge in the case, Rosarito Montan\u00eda.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-2-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-580808\" style=\"width:511px;height:auto\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\nThe act was not criminally sanctioned against Federico Garc\u00eda Troche. The president of the Military Justice Court, Air Division General Nicol\u00e1s Narv\u00e1ez, explained to <em>EFE<\/em> that the attempt to introduce a phone into the prison is not classified as a crime in the Paraguayan penal code, which is why Garc\u00eda Troche&#8217;s brother was released after what happened. Narv\u00e1ez added that it is up to Judge Montan\u00eda to determine if the action constitutes a violation of the specific conditions imposed on the accused&#8217;s confinement.\n\nGianina Garc\u00eda Troche remains in custody at the Vi\u00f1as Cu\u00e9 military prison since May 21, after being extradited from Spain. Her detention in Spanish territory occurred in July 2024, at the Adolfo Su\u00e1rez-Madrid Barajas airport. During her stay in prison, she was transferred to a hospital in early December after fainting and seizures, and after being discharged from the hospital, she was readmitted to the prison.\n\nThe formal indictment against Garc\u00eda Troche is part of the Paraguayan investigation that followed the &#8220;A Ultranza Py&#8221; operation, launched in 2022 as the largest state blow to date against organized crime and money laundering in Paraguay. The Public Prosecutor&#8217;s Office accuses Garc\u00eda Troche of introducing millions of dollars derived from drug trafficking into the Paraguayan financial system, using sophisticated methods to conceal the origin and destination of the funds.\n\nDuring a court hearing held on October 14, Garc\u00eda Troche stated that she is not Marset&#8217;s wife, although she admitted that she is the mother of his children.\n\nSebasti\u00e1n Marset himself addressed the situation in a recent interview given to the radio <em>780 AM<\/em> and the channel <em>Mega TV<\/em>, in which he claimed that he offered to surrender to the Paraguayan State in exchange for Garc\u00eda Troche being &#8220;out of all charges.&#8221; The Paraguayan Executive, for its part, rejected any type of negotiation and reiterated its demand that Marset appear before the Justice.\n\nThe United States announced on May 21st the offer of a USD 2,000,000 reward for information leading to the capture or conviction of Marset, who is also charged with sending more than 16 tons of cocaine to Europe, according to the State Department. In addition, the US justice system filed an indictment for money laundering, claiming that Marset managed millions of dollars from drug trafficking through financial institutions based in the United States. Regionally, in 2023, Bolivia offered a reward of USD 100,000 for his arrest.\n\nThe extradition of Garc\u00eda Troche to Paraguay was finalized almost a year after her arrest in Spain. Upon her arrival, she was immediately incarcerated in the Vi\u00f1as Cu\u00e9 military prison, where strict custody is in place due to the seriousness of the accusations and her alleged connection to the network led by Marset.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paraguayan military personnel seized a cell phone this Saturday that the brother of Gianina Garc\u00eda Troche, identified as the partner of fugitive drug trafficker Sebasti\u00e1n Marset, tried to give her during a visit to the Vi\u00f1as Cu\u00e9 military prison in Asunci\u00f3n, where she is serving pre-trial detention.
