Paraguayan deputy says she will report withdrawals made before the collapse of Ueno Bank

São Paulo Paraguayan deputy Rocío Vallejo, from the Pátria Querida party, said that she will present this Monday (9), together with a group of parliamentarians from the country, a complaint to the Public Ministry against "unidentified people" for alleged withdrawal of resources from Ueno Bank before the Paraguayan Central Bank suspended the operation of the financial institution.

The suspicion is that executives and authorities would have benefited from privileged information to withdraw money from their accounts at Ueno Bank before the entire crisis came to light.

"Thank you, God, for this stupidly beautiful Sunday. It's almost 7 am, I'm starting to write the complaint that we will present tomorrow, together with colleagues, about the privileged withdrawals from Ueno Bank", wrote the parliamentarian in a post on her Instagram account.

On the social network, Vallejo has more than 51 thousand followers. The deputy also states that the situation deserves an investigation by the Public Ministry.

In an interview with the Paraguayan newspaper ABC Color, Vallejo said that the complaint will be filed against unidentified people, so that prosecutors can track the complete list of large transfers carried out, without any type of protection or political sponsorship.

She also stated that the coordinated flight of capital in the hours preceding the suspension of Ueno Bank's operations is a serious crime, provided for in the Paraguayan Penal Code.

According to her, the suspicion is that high levels of the government and the bank's top management have leaked information about the institution's insolvency situation to friends, business partners and family members, who, in turn, have emptied their current accounts.

Almost half of Paraguayans were account holders of the digital bank, which had its operation suspended by the country's central bank following solvency problems and signs of irregularities.
