Diego Marset was arrested on December 27 in Foz de Iguazu and he is identified as a member of his brother’s illegal scheme.
His lawyer stated that the young man was born in Brazil, although there is speculation that this may be a strategy to avoid being prosecuted in Paraguaytaking into account that Brazilian law does not allow the extradition of its compatriots.
Sebastian Marsetconsidered leader of the First Uruguayan Cartel (PCU), He remains a fugitive and is wanted by Paraguayan justice for drug trafficking crimes, after escaping on July 29, when the Bolivian Police tried to capture him in the house where he lived in the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierraalong with his wife and four children.
The fugitive managed to hide in Bolivia since 2019 under three identities, with his real name, in addition to one Bolivian (Gabriel De Souza Beumer) and another Brazilian (Luis Paulo Amorín Santos).
According to the investigations, Diego would have served as an intermediary in constant trips from Bolivia to Paraguay to guarantee his brother’s illicit transactions and the necessary payments to criminal organizations that supply drugs.
