ARThe Paraguayan Prosecutor's Office has requested a two-year and two-month prison sentence for Edgardo Kueider, an Argentine former senator, and his secretary Iara Guinsel for allegedly attempting to bring undeclared foreign currency into Paraguay. Kueider was detained at the International Friendship Bridge in December 2024 while traveling with Guinsel, carrying USD 211,102 along with other currencies without declaring them to tax authorities. Both are currently under house arrest in Paraguay. During a recent court hearing, prosecutor Ysrael Villalba argued that the pair entered the country without declaring the funds, while their defense claims the act does not constitute smuggling but rather a failure to report income. Kueider denied the accusations, asserting they did not commit any crime. The case continues pending the Paraguayan court’s decision.
