Two men, an Italian and an American, were arrested for alleged money laundering in an operation that included raids in San Francisco, Cerro Azul, and Villa Lucre.
According to statements from the authorities, the detainees are suspected of being involved in an international money laundering network. During the raids, documents, electronic devices, and a significant amount of cash were seized.
The prosecutor in charge of the case reported that a thorough investigation is underway to determine the scope of the money laundering operation and whether there are more people involved. So far, the detainees are in custody to make statements and face charges against them.
"We are committed to dismantling these types of criminal organizations that operate internationally and seek to use our country for their illicit activities. We will continue to work together with other authorities to combat money laundering and ensure the safety of our society," stated the prosecutor.
