WHAT SHE DID TO US
I am a Canadian citizen who hired Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez as an immigration manager in Paraguay. She took over $9,000 USD from me and my son and delivered nothing we contracted for.
**She took $5,200 USD as a "solvency deposit" for BNF Bank.**
BNF Bank confirmed no deposit was ever made in my son's name. The money was simply stolen.
**She filed for temporary residence when we paid for permanent.**
The difference is fundamental — we paid for permanent residency and she filed for something entirely different without disclosure.
**She forged official government documents.**
Migrations confirmed the residency document she gave us as proof was a forgery — wrong signature, wrong passport number. The document was fabricated.
**She maxed out my Itaú Bank credit cards using the PINs, sending my account to collections (Inforcom).**
She used the PINs that were sent with the cards to steal from them repeatedly via ATM withdrawals.
**She never filed taxes or made phone payments as agreed.**
Both confirmed in writing by the relevant institutions despite having promised both in writing.
**She refused to return our original documents.**
She held all documents hostage and refused to provide a single original file.
PUBLIC RECORD — ALL INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIABLE
ARREST — August 2021
Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez was arrested at BNF Bank in August 2021 attempting to defraud a foreigner of $5,000 USD for a fake residency document. This was reported by multiple Paraguayan media outlets including La Nación and other digital media. The arrest photo is publicly available.
La Nación caption: "La presunta estafadora fue detenida y ya cuenta con antecedentes por hechos similares en años anteriores" — "The alleged fraudster was detained and already has a record for similar acts in previous years."
Following her arrest, she attempted to sue the media outlets that reported on it — and lost (csj.gov.py, 2021).
FORGERY CHARGE — November 2021
Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez was formally charged with Production of Non-Authentic Documents (forgery) before:
- Criminal Guarantee Court No. 11, Asunción
- Case ID: 1 1 2 1 2 2021 5641
- Date: November 4, 2021
- Prosecutor: María Estefanía González
- Defense attorney: Luis Guillermo Gayoso, License No. 56.382
The criminal action was extinguished under the Opportunity Criteria — this is NOT an acquittal. It is a prosecutorial discretion decision to discontinue prosecution. She paid approximately $200 USD to charity as reparation for social damage.
The lawyer currently defending her in active civil proceedings is the same lawyer who defended her on this forgery charge — Luis Guillermo Gayoso, License No. 56.382.
COVID FUNDS SCANDAL — ~USD 1 MILLION (2021)
The name Lorena Laterra appeared in a July 11, 2021 article in Última Hora, one of Paraguay's leading newspapers, in connection with a questioned invoice trail in the approximately USD 1 million COVID reactivation funds scandal involving the Governor of Central Department, Hugo Javier González.
The Gobernación del Departamento Central received Gs. 6.382 million (USD 1 million) to finance reactivation projects, of which Gs. 5.105 million (USD 800,000) were transferred to the NGO Centro Integral de Apoyo Profesional (CIAP) for execution. The article reported that among the invoices appearing in the questioned accountability documents, the name "Lorena Laterra" was explicitly listed alongside other names and entities whose documents were being scrutinized.

A NOTE FOR INVESTIGATORS
The surname Laterra is not common in Paraguay. A person named Lorena Laterra appears in a USD 1 million COVID funds scandal reported by Última Hora. We cannot confirm this is the same Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez documented throughout this site. But consider this: if it is NOT the same person, then Paraguay has produced two separate individuals sharing the uncommon surname Laterra — both connected to fraud allegations. And either way, the surname Laterra now connects to: a documented serial fraudster, a USD 1 million COVID funds scandal, and a senior government official at the Ministry of Public Defense. We ask: how many times can the surname Laterra appear in fraud-related reporting before it warrants serious scrutiny?
Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez has a documented Facebook connection to Rafael Laterra. Rafael Laterra is not a private citizen. He publicly identifies himself as Director de Gabinete, Ministerio de la Defensa Pública (www.mdp.gov.py). His role is confirmed by multiple official documents hosted on Paraguay's own government website, including a November 2023 ministry news article naming him as elected councillor to the BLODEPM Mercosur legal bloc. We make no accusations regarding this connection. We note it as a matter of public record.
Finally — and we consider this the most significant detail for investigators — the lawyer currently defending Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez in active civil proceedings, Luis Guillermo Gayoso, License No. 56.382, is the same lawyer who previously represented Governor Hugo Javier González — the central figure in the USD 1 million COVID funds scandal in which a person named Lorena Laterra appeared in questioned invoice documentation.
One lawyer. One uncommon surname. One COVID scandal. A Facebook connection between a documented serial fraudster and a senior government official at the Ministry of Public Defense. Multiple fraud victims across nearly a decade. Whether these are all the same people or not — the connections between the Laterra surname, government officials, and fraud allegations are a pattern that cannot be explained by coincidence alone. We make no accusations. We simply note that these connections exist, are documentable, and warrant professional investigation by law enforcement, prosecutors, and investigative journalists. See the blog below for more details.

LORENA LATERRA — ADVERTENCIA DE FRAUDE
Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez | Asunción, Paraguay
www.lorenalaterra.com | +595 971 337807 | Alas Paraguayas 968, Asunción 1234, Paraguay
Si está considerando contratar a Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez como gestora de inmigración, traductora, agente inmobiliaria o cualquier otro proveedor de servicios en Paraguay — lea esto primero.
Este sitio documenta un patrón de fraude de más de una década por parte de Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez, quien opera bajo el nombre comercial Lorena Laterra. Ella apunta a extranjeros que buscan residencia en Paraguay. Encuentra a sus víctimas a través de sitios web comerciales, redes sociales personales, directorios de expatriados y recomendaciones de boca en boca. Actualmente enfrenta 60 denuncias penales, 4 demandas civiles activas de extranjeros, y tiene un arresto documentado y una imputación por falsificación en el registro público.
Toda la información en este sitio proviene exclusivamente de expedientes judiciales públicos, bases de datos gubernamentales oficiales, informes periodísticos publicados y experiencia de primera mano de víctimas. Cada afirmación es verificable de forma independiente.
LO QUE NOS HIZO
Soy ciudadano canadiense y contraté a Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez como gestora de inmigración en Paraguay. Me cobró más de USD $9.000 a mí y a mi hijo sin cumplir nada de lo contratado.
Cobró USD $5.200 como "depósito de solvencia" para el Banco BNF.
El BNF confirmó que nunca se realizó ningún depósito a nombre de mi hijo. El dinero simplemente fue robado.
**Tramitó residencia temporal cuando pagamos por permanente.**
La diferencia es fundamental — pagamos por residencia permanente y ella tramitó algo completamente distinto sin informarnos.
**Falsificó documentos oficiales del gobierno.**
Migraciones confirmó que el documento que nos entregó como prueba de trámite era una falsificación — firma incorrecta, número de pasaporte incorrecto.
**Agotó mis tarjetas de crédito del Banco Itaú usando los PIN, enviando mi cuenta a cobranza (Inforcom).**
Utilizó los PIN enviados junto con las tarjetas para robar repetidamente mediante retiros en cajero automático.
**Nunca presentó impuestos ni realizó pagos telefónicos según lo acordado.**
Ambos hechos confirmados por escrito por las instituciones correspondientes.
**Se negó a devolver nuestros documentos originales.**
Retuvo todos los documentos y se negó a entregar un solo archivo original.
REGISTRO PÚBLICO — TODO VERIFICABLE DE FORMA INDEPENDIENTE
DETENCIÓN — Agosto 2021
Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez fue detenida en el Banco BNF en agosto de 2021 intentando estafar a un extranjero con USD $5.000 por un documento de radicación falso. Reportado por múltiples medios paraguayos. La fotografía del arresto es de acceso público.
Leyenda de La Nación: "La presunta estafadora fue detenida y ya cuenta con antecedentes por hechos similares en años anteriores."
Luego de su detención, intentó demandar a los medios que informaron sobre el hecho — y perdió (csj.gov.py, 2021).
IMPUTACIÓN POR FALSIFICACIÓN — Noviembre 2021
Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez fue formalmente imputada por Producción de Documentos No Auténticos (falsificación) ante:
- Juzgado Penal de Garantías N° 11, Asunción
- Identificación N°: 1 1 2 1 2 2021 5641
- Fecha: 4 de noviembre de 2021
- Fiscal: María Estefanía González
- Abogado defensor: Luis Guillermo Gayoso, Mat. N° 56.382
La acción penal fue extinguida por Criterio de Oportunidad — NO es una absolución. Es una decisión discrecional del Ministerio Público. Ofreció aproximadamente $200 USD a beneficencia como reparación del daño social.
El abogado que actualmente la defiende en procesos civiles es el mismo que la defendió en esta imputación — Luis Guillermo Gayoso, Mat. N° 56.382.
ESCÁNDALO DE FONDOS COVID — APROXIMADAMENTE USD 1 MILLÓN (2021)
El nombre Lorena Laterra apareció en un artículo del 11 de julio de 2021 en Última Hora, uno de los principales diarios de Paraguay, en conexión con un cuestionado rastro de facturas en el escándalo de aproximadamente USD 1 millón en fondos de reactivación COVID que involucró al Gobernador del Departamento Central, Hugo Javier González.
La Gobernación del Departamento Central recibió Gs. 6.382 millones (USD 1 millón) para financiar proyectos de reactivación, de los cuales Gs. 5.105 millones (USD 800.000) fueron transferidos a la ONG Centro Integral de Apoyo Profesional (CIAP) para su ejecución. El artículo reportó que entre las facturas que figuraban en los documentos de rendición de cuentas cuestionados, el nombre "Lorena Laterra" fue explícitamente listado junto a otros nombres y entidades cuyos documentos estaban siendo escrutados.

UNA NOTA PARA INVESTIGADORES
El apellido Laterra no es común en Paraguay. Una persona llamada Lorena Laterra aparece en el escándalo de fondos COVID de aproximadamente USD 1 millón reportado por Última Hora. No podemos confirmar que se trate de la misma Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez documentada en este sitio. Pero considere esto: si NO es la misma persona, entonces Paraguay ha producido dos individuos distintos que comparten el poco común apellido Laterra — ambos conectados a denuncias de fraude. Y de cualquier manera, el apellido Laterra ahora conecta con: una estafadora serial documentada, un escándalo de fondos COVID de USD 1 millón, y un alto funcionario del Ministerio de la Defensa Pública. Preguntamos: ¿cuántas veces puede aparecer el apellido Laterra en reportes relacionados con fraude antes de que merezca un escrutinio serio?
Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez tiene una conexión documentada en Facebook con Rafael Laterra. Rafael Laterra no es un ciudadano privado. Se identifica públicamente como Director de Gabinete, Ministerio de la Defensa Pública (www.mdp.gov.py). Su cargo está confirmado por múltiples documentos oficiales alojados en el propio sitio web del gobierno paraguayo, incluyendo un artículo de noticias del ministerio de noviembre de 2023 que lo nombra como consejero electo del bloque jurídico BLODEPM Mercosur. No realizamos ninguna acusación respecto a esta conexión. La señalamos como un asunto de registro público.
Finalmente — y consideramos que este es el detalle más significativo para los investigadores — el abogado que actualmente defiende a Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez en los procesos civiles activos, Luis Guillermo Gayoso, Mat. N° 56.382, es el mismo abogado que previamente representó al Gobernador Hugo Javier González — la figura central en el escándalo de fondos COVID de aproximadamente USD 1 millón en el que el nombre de una persona llamada Lorena Laterra apareció en documentación de facturas cuestionadas.
Un abogado. Un apellido poco común. Un escándalo de COVID. Una conexión en Facebook entre una estafadora serial documentada y un alto funcionario del Ministerio de la Defensa Pública. Múltiples víctimas de fraude a lo largo de casi una década. Sean o no las mismas personas — las conexiones entre el apellido Laterra, funcionarios gubernamentales y denuncias de fraude forman un patrón que no puede explicarse por coincidencia. No realizamos ninguna acusación. Simplemente señalamos que estas conexiones existen, son documentables, y merecen una investigación profesional por parte de las fuerzas del orden, fiscales y periodistas de investigación. Vea el blog a continuación para más detalles.

Caught on Camera: Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez Arrested at Banco Nacional de Fomento
This is not the first time. It will not be the last time anyone talks about it. Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez has a long, documented history of fraud targeting foreigners in Paraguay. Immigration paperwork. Forged bank documents. Money collected. Services never delivered. Sixty criminal complaints spanning nearly a decade. In 2021, it finally caught up with her — at least briefly. Paraguayan national broadcaster C9N captured her arrest live, in a segment that aired the same morning she was detained at the Banco Nacional de Fomento in Asunción. The video was published to YouTube by C9N Paraguay and remains publicly viewable today. Watch the original broadcast here: [C9N Paraguay — "Alleged Fraudsters Arrested in Asunción"](https://www.youtube.com/@C9NParaguay) --- What the Broadcast Revealed Comisario José Velázquez of the Policía Nacional explained on camera exactly how Laterra Sánchez operated. She posed as an immigration gestoría — an agent helping foreigners navigate Paraguay's residency paperwork. One key requirement for permanent residency is a bank deposit of 32 million guaraníes, made directly to the Banco Nacional de Fomento. She never made the deposit. Instead, she forged the deposit receipts — photomontages, in the Comisario's words — and presented them to clients as proof that their money had been properly deposited. The money went nowhere except her own pocket. It was the Banco Nacional de Fomento itself that caught her. Staff identified the fraudulent documents and filed the complaint. She was arrested on the spot. The broadcast also carried a pointed public warning: you do not need to pay any private agency to process immigration paperwork in Paraguay. Anyone offering to do so for a fee is a potential fraud risk. If a deposit is required, go to the bank directly and make it yourself. --- English Translation of Broadcast (0:00 – 2:31) Comisario José Velázquez — Policía Nacional [0:00] "Well, we're going to talk about fraud cases — pay close attention. Blanca López with all the details." [0:08] "Good morning. Good morning. Basically, Alexis, this is so that people are aware when doing any kind of immigration paperwork, because in reality you don't need to pay any agency, because you can fall into the hands of swindlers." [0:23] "The first case involves a woman who was defrauding foreigners. Pay close attention to the amount: 32,700 guaraníes. But precisely for that we are here with Comisario José Velázquez to explain to us how Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez operated." [0:40] "Yes, good morning. Exactly — she was doing immigration paperwork services for foreigners, dedicated to processing documents. One of the procedures this woman carried out required a bank deposit of 32 million guaraníes in order to obtain permanent residency for a foreigner." [1:13] "So what she would do was forge that deposit receipt and apparently keep the money. Yes — this is a copy she would present to the bank or to her client, showing that she had effectively deposited that sum — 32,700 — but this deposit was never made." [1:37] "These documents were presented by staff at the Banco Nacional de Fomento, who filed this complaint with this department, and this woman was detained at that moment. Today she is already under the jurisdiction of the Public Ministry." [1:55] "This would be a photomontage, Alexis — what she used to supposedly show she had made the presentation — that she had deposited the money that the person needed to complete their permanent residency paperwork. However, that deposit was never made." [2:09] "Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez is now in the women's judicial facility, under the authority of the prosecutor's office. Well, the other case is also something to keep in mind: do not pay agencies, and if you do, make sure the documents they present are authentic." --- Traducción al Español de la Transmisión (0:00 – 2:31) Crio. José Velázquez — Policía Nacional [0:00] "Bueno, vamos a hablar de casos de estafa — a prestar mucha atención. Blanca López con todos los detalles." [0:08] "Buenos días. Muy buenos días. Básicamente, Alexis, es para que la gente tenga en cuenta a la hora de hacer algún trámite en migraciones, porque en realidad no necesitas pagar ninguna gestoría, porque puedes caer en manos de estafadores." [0:23] "El primer caso se refiere a una mujer que estafaba a extranjeros. Atend bien el monto: 32.700 guaraníes. Pero justamente para eso estamos con el comisario José Velázquez para explicarnos cómo operaba Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez." [0:40] "Sí, buenos días. Exactamente — ella hacía trabajo de gestorías para extranjeros, se dedicaba a realizar documentos. En uno de los trámites que tiene que hacer esta señora es depositar en una cuenta bancaria la suma de 32 millones de guaraníes para obtener la radicación permanente de un extranjero." [1:13] "Entonces ella lo que hacía era falsificaba ese depósito y aparentemente se quedaba con el dinero. Sí — esta es una copia en donde ella presenta al banco o a su cliente de que efectivamente depositó esa suma de dinero — son 32.700 — pero este depósito nunca se hizo." [1:37] "Estos documentos presentaron la gente del Banco Nacional de Fomento, quienes realizaron esta denuncia ante esta dependencia, y a esta señora, ella fue detenida en ese momento, y hoy en día ya se encuentra bajo jurisdicción del Ministerio Público." [1:55] "Esto sería un fotomontaje, Alexis — que ella utilizaba para supuestamente demostrar que hizo la presentación — que hizo el depósito del dinero que necesita esta persona para hacer los trámites de radicación permanente. Sin embargo, ese depósito nunca se hizo." [2:09] "Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez ya se encuentra en el departamento judicial femenino, a cargo de la fiscalía. Bueno, el otro caso también es para tener en cuenta: no pagar gestores, y en el caso que lo hagas, tenés que asegurarte que los documentos que te presenten sean los auténticos." --- --- Captada en Cámara: Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez Detenida en el Banco Nacional de Fomento No es la primera vez. Y no será la última vez que alguien hable de esto. --- Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez tiene una larga e documentada historia de fraudes contra extranjeros en Paraguay. Trámites migratorios. Documentos bancarios falsificados. Dinero cobrado. Servicios jamás prestados. Sesenta denuncias penales a lo largo de casi una década. En 2021, finalmente la alcanzaron las consecuencias — aunque solo brevemente. El canal nacional paraguayo C9N capturó su arresto en vivo, en un segmento que salió al aire la misma mañana en que fue detenida en el Banco Nacional de Fomento en Asunción. El video fue publicado en YouTube por C9N Paraguay y sigue siendo visible públicamente hasta el día de hoy. Vea la transmisión original aquí: [C9N Paraguay — "Presunta Estafadora Detenida en Asunción"](https://www.youtube.com/@C9NParaguay) --- Lo Que Reveló la Transmisión El comisario José Velázquez de la Policía Nacional explicó ante las cámaras exactamente cómo operaba Laterra Sánchez. Se hacía pasar por una gestoría migratoria — una agente que ayudaba a extranjeros a navegar los trámites de residencia en Paraguay. Uno de los requisitos clave para la radicación permanente es un depósito bancario de 32 millones de guaraníes, realizado directamente en el Banco Nacional de Fomento. Ella nunca realizó el depósito. En cambio, falsificaba los recibos de depósito — fotomontajes, en palabras del comisario — y los presentaba a sus clientes como prueba de que el dinero había sido depositado correctamente. El dinero no iba a ningún lado excepto a su propio bolsillo. Fue el propio Banco Nacional de Fomento el que la descubrió. El personal identificó los documentos fraudulentos y presentó la denuncia. Fue detenida en el acto. La transmisión también incluyó una contundente advertencia pública: no es necesario pagar ninguna agencia privada para realizar trámites migratorios en Paraguay. Cualquier persona que ofrezca hacerlo a cambio de un honorario es un potencial riesgo de estafa. Si se requiere un depósito, diríjase directamente al banco y realícelo usted mismo. --- Transcripción de la Transmisión (0:00 – 2:31) Crio.

Who is Lorena Laterra?
Who is Lorena Laterra? Now who really is Lorena Laterra? Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez, aka Lorena Laterra describes herself as "your trusted agent in Paraguay" on her website www.lorenalaterra.com For credentials, Ms. Laterra claims: Registered Service Provider with Migrations Sworn Translator by Supreme Court https://datos.csj.gov.py/personas/doc/2866384 SEL Teacher at Trinity College 5th Year Law Student To put things plainly, do not believe a single thing above unless Ms. Laterra provides proof. Questions to ask Ms. Laterra: Does Migrations even register service providers? Can I see the list with your name on it? What does "Sworn Translator by Supreme Court" even mean? Once understood, "Can you show me the certificate or supporting document?" Because a link to nowhere is proof of nothing. SEL Teacher at Trinity College? Where exactly? How long? Full time or part time? Can I please see a Certificate of Employment? 5th Year Law Student. Where? And for how many years can one be a 5th year law student? Additional Questions: Why is the most recent client testimonial on your website from May 28, 2021? Have you ever been arrested? If yes, how many times? Can you provide details surrounding the circumstances of your arrests? Have you ever had a mugshot taken? Why did you plead guilty to the criminal allegation of "Production of Non Authentic Documents" on November 4, 2021 in Asuncion, Paraguay? How many active criminal complaints against you are currently with Asuncion's District 11 Public Prosecutors Office? Have you ever been sued by a client? How many times have you been sued? How many cases have you settled out of court to avoid being sued or having a criminal case opened against you? How many active cases are there currently against you? Has your website www.lorenalaterra.com ever been suspended due to allegations against you? If I hire you, how will you take payment? If the answer is anything other than by credit card or by wire to a bank account in her or her business name, ask yourself why. Do you work in cooperation with any other providers? If the answer is yes, take note of those providers, and best avoid them as well. In summary, if you can obtain honest answers to these questions, it will be clear whether Ms. Lorena has the credentials or character to be "your trusted agent in Paraguay." In the absence of proof of credentials or full transparency regarding arrests, guilty pleas, settled cases, active cases, etc, it is best to consider another provider.

A Personal Review of Ms. Laterra's Services
In 2020, governments around the world lost their minds over an alleged virus. Their actions forced many citizens to consider leaving their country for another country they considered to be more suitable. To navigate the red tape and cultural landscape, many chose to use an immigration agent or lawyer in their destination country. For those considering Paraguay, agent Lorena Laterra appeared as an option. She has a website, the credentials, and the knowledge required to obtain Temporary or Permanent Residence in Paraguay. She also provides other services. I hired Ms. Laterra to assist me in obtaining Permanent Residence in mid 2022. Once Permanent Residence was obtained, I hired Ms. Laterra to help me obtain a phone plan, drivers license, a credit card, and two bank accounts. The purpose in the preceding was to, over time, create a case for naturalization. Once the case was ready,, Ms. Laterra would apply on my behalf. She would be paid an agreed fee at that time, payable over three staged payments. In the meantime, it was agreed that Ms. Laterra would make regular monthly payments on my phone plan and would receive the bank cards and credit card. She would then turn over all banking information to myself, and I could then manage and maintain the accounts myself through online banking. For the sake of brevity, what occurred is as follows: Using one excuse after another, the banking information and cards were never turned over to me. Proof of monthly payments to maintain the phone plan were never provided. Ms. Laterra then refused to share any information about my own file with me. According to Ms. Laterra, everything was fine, my bank account and credit cards were in order, she was making monthly payments on my phone plan as agreed, but my file was "unavailable", I was being unreasonable, and in fact she was extremely surprised and disappointed that I assumed anything untoward. Roughly concurrent to this time period, Ms. Laterra was hired to obtain Permanent Residency for my son. She took the required $5,000 USD solvency deposit from me, claimed to deposit in the designated bank, and maintained the Permanent Residence application was in progress, yet resolution was delayed. All beyond her control of course. Eventually, like in my case, everything stalled out, communication became poor, but according to Ms. Laterra, everything was "fine", I was being unreasonable, and she was in disbelief that I thought anything untoward might be in progress. In my son's case, however, Ms. Laterra provided "proof" that she had submitted my son's application for Permanent Residency and invited me to investigate on my own if I did not believe her. I did exactly that through another channel. The result was that Migration stated that no application for Permanent Residency under that name or number was ever registered in the Migrations system. Additionally, they stated that the signature on the document was a forgery, as confirmed by the named officer. The receipt (Tramite) also had my son's name but my passport information on it. A forgery unless proven otherwise. After finally contacting my bank in Paraguay, it was clear there were some major issues. Issues that Ms. Laterra declined to address. Issues that the bank would only discuss with me in person. I flew to Paraguay in early 2024 and with the assistance of an interpreter made the rounds. It was shocking. In my case, both of my bank accounts were drained, my credit card was maxed out, and I was in Collections. Additionally, there was never a single payment made towards my phone plan. In my son's case, an application for Permanent Residence was never submitted. The $5,000 USD solvency deposit was never deposited. I had simply endured years of lies, manipulations, gaslighting, forged documents, etc. And I learned that I was only one of many victims. I hired a lawyer and am case #3 against Ms. Lorena Laterra, my "trusted agent in Paraguay"
Corruption
In the middle of my dealings with Ms. Laterra, it became clear that she is a magnet for fraud and theft allegations. All attached to one variation or another of her full name: Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sanchez An estimated 25+ victims Crimes ranging from outright stealing solvency deposits, selling fake land titles, using forged documents to try to steal client funds, etc. But how could this occur over such a long period? Surely if Ms. Laterra were guilty of a crime she would have criminal convictions. If there were many victims, some would assume she would even be jailed by now. You don't know Paraguay. When Ms. Laterra felt I was insinuating that she was (gasp) "a criminal", she sent me what many of us would commonly refer to as a Criminal Clearance Certificate. "See!", she exclaimed, " If I was a criminal, I could not provide a clean criminal clearance certificate! Fair point, except apparently in Paraguay, a criminal can immediately obtain one after being released from jail. Once they have served their sentence, they are "clear". Hence, they have the ability to receive a clean criminal clearance certificate. This was explained to me by someone who should know. If it's shown to be mistaken, I'll retract. But it sounds par for course. So surely Ms. Laterra would have been arrested by now. Yes, she has been. She even pled guilty to using a forged document and had her mugshot taken. But as far as I can tell does not have any criminal convictions. How could this be possible? The technical explanation is that since Ms. Laterra admitted to committing the crime and was, at that time, without a criminal record, the prosecution agreed to "extinguish" the conviction. That means Ms. Laterra did commit a crime, admitted to committing the crime, and in return she was given a break. A less technical explanation for Ms. Laterra not having any known criminal convictions is CORRUPTION. A criminal can avoid arrest by paying off a police officer at the scene. A criminal can avoid a case going to trial by agreeing to a plea then having a charge/conviction extinguished. That might also involve a bribe. A criminal can avoid conviction by bribing a prosecutor to sit on a case or cases and never bring them to trial. Currently there are a number of criminal complaints against Ms. Latera sitting within the Prosecutors Office in District 11 in Asuncion. The Prosecutor is neither dropping the charges nor proceeding. Why not? If you guessed corruption, you might be correct. A smart criminal will also choose to pay off victims just prior to them going to the police or prosecutor. This is a favorite tactic of Ms. Laterra. Big picture, her hustle goes like this. Perform 80%-90% of the work contracted to do, often to a decent standard. This garners the service fees, general goodwill, and positive reviews. Rob the remaining clients using one of a number of practiced methods. The targeting of these "clients" will come down to the circumstances of the day and the characteristics of the "client". Those that are older, not proficient in Spanish, living abroad, possibly not well traveled, tending to make better victims. Then Ms. Laterra will use a percentage of stolen funds to pay off or fight the most aggressive victims. The ones who won't accept being victimized. But it is a bad business model that can not succeed in the end. Because once a critical mass of victims accrue, so does the negative publicity, as well as the criminal and civil allegations. Business is bound to fall off. Naturally income decreases. That leaves less money to pay bribes and fund cases, and then it all falls apart. You are witnessing the unraveling.
Victim Assistance and Fundraising
"That which is ready to fall, shall ye also push!" -Friedrich Nietzsche Ms. Laterra has a bad business model. It deserves to die. And I hope to play a major part. Corruption is bad for everyone. It spreads like a cancer through institutions. It lowers society. It protects people such as Ms. Laterra. It supports her business model. It further revictimizes her victims. When I realized I had been scammed, I was proactive. I sourced lawyers and translators and interpreters. Most took their time to reply, if at all. Of those that replied, most disappeared after hearing the name Lorena Laterra. She is well known in the migrations industry. She is well known within Migrations as a scammer. She is toxic and most don't want the association. Eventually I found an excellent interpreter and lawyer. I also found many victims of Ms. Laterra online. Then found additional victims through those victims. I introduced some to my lawyer. He was able to get them out of court settlements. Most scam victims just want some restitution and then to move on with their lives. Some of those that live in Paraguay are afraid. Ms. Laterra states on her website that she is "well connected". That is true. That's probably the only reason she is currently walking free today. Despite the difficulties, a number of victims are proceeding with cases. There are three active cases, with another few cases currently being drafted. Those will become public. The major problems that victims have are related to logistics and funding. I have developed a pipeline of sorts. When I come across a victim, I will usually hear them out. Then I introduced them to my English-Spanish interpreter. I then fund 3-6 hours of consultation. The interpreter then sends a summary of the case to my lawyer for review. He then consults with the victims. This might require an interpreter again. I have funded that also. Then the lawyer and victim come to their own agreement and proceed of their own accord. The model has worked well until now but expenses add up. In addition to expenses related to my own case. So I am going to open some crowdfunding campaigns to assist Ms. Laterra's victims. Apart from paying for this site, all funds will go towards Ms. Laterra's other victims. I do not want a cent for myself or towards my own case. I'm not in this for money. I'm in this for justice, to destroy a bad business model, and to shine a spotlight on the corruption that is currently taking place in the migration space in Paraguay. Any funds gathered will be applied to initial translation services and eventually hopefully funding cases for victims who are lacking funds to pursue their case on their own. If a funded case is won and legal fees reclaimed, they will get rolled into new cases. In the event that cases against Ms. Laterra are exhausted, reserve funds will be applied to like kind cases in Paraguay. Any donations, however small, would be appreciated and updates will be provided.
Did the Cases Against Lorena Laterra Go Nowhere Because Prosecutor Óscar Delfino Sat on Them?
At a certain point, after speaking with enough alleged victims of Ms. Lorena Laterra, a recurring question began to emerge: How can a person attract so many allegations over such a long period and yet appear to glide through the system untouched? Fair question. If you spend enough time in Paraguay, another question eventually follows: Who exactly is handling the files? According to multiple victims and sources familiar with complaints involving Ms. Laterra, several allegations reportedly landed within District 11 in Asunción. And one name repeatedly surfaced: Óscar Delfino. Now before proceeding, let’s make something clear. This article does not claim Mr. Delfino committed wrongdoing, accepted a bribe, or improperly interfered in any proceeding. No evidence currently reviewed establishes that. But people ask questions. And sometimes the questions become difficult to ignore. Why? Because prosecutor Óscar Delfino has himself become the subject of public criticism in unrelated matters. Recent reporting (below) raised questions surrounding his conduct in a high-profile property dispute involving businessman Jairo Antonio Webber Kaefer. Articles questioned the speed and handling of prosecutorial actions and suggested irregularities serious enough to attract public attention. Readers can review those reports themselves: La Clave – “Sugestiva celeridad fiscal...” La Clave – related reporting regarding the Webber Kaefer matter Now, does criticism in one case prove misconduct in another? No. Not remotely. But now return to the Lorena question. Victims claim complaints were filed. Victims claim evidence existed. Victims claim documents were provided. Yet years later, many ask the same thing: Where did the cases go? Were they rejected? Were they investigated? Were they forgotten? Were they sitting untouched? Nobody seems to have a clear answer. And in Paraguay, uncertainty has a way of breeding rumors. The rumor in this instance is simple: That complaints involving Ms. Laterra sat inside District 11 without meaningful progress. Rumor is not proof. But transparency solves rumors. If cases were actively investigated, show the procedural history. If cases were dismissed, explain why. If cases remain open, explain their status. Simple. Because absent transparency, people tend to fill the gaps themselves. And when enough gaps appear, confidence in institutions begins to disappear. Perhaps there is a perfectly ordinary explanation. If so, great. Show it. Until then, people will continue asking uncomfortable questions. And perhaps rightly so. https://www.laclave.com.py/2024/09/03/sugestiva-celeridad-fiscal-para-imputar-a-empresario-que-reclama-su-propiedad/
The Laterra Network: Coincidence or Pattern? Questions That Demand Answers
At some point during our research into the case of Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez — documented serial fraudster, arrested in 2021, charged with forgery, facing 60+ criminal complaints and 4 active civil lawsuits from foreign nationals — a recurring question emerged: Why does the name "Laterra" keep appearing in so many unrelated controversies in Paraguay? --- ## The COVID Funds Connection While reviewing Paraguayan media reports, a curious detail surfaced in coverage of the COVID-era public funds scandal involving approximately USD $1 million in questioned expenditures connected to the administration of former Central Department Governor Hugo Javier González. The scandal involved allegations of irregular accounting, questioned invoices, and accusations of "facturas falsas" — false invoices. Public reporting stated that accounting records and reimbursement submissions contained the names of various individuals and entities. One name listed in that reporting was Lorena Laterra. We must be clear: public reporting reviewed for this article does not establish that Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez was investigated, charged, or convicted in connection with that specific matter. We cannot confirm it is even the same person. But that is precisely the point. If it is the same person — a woman already documented as a serial fraudster with 60 criminal complaints, a forgery charge, and a 2021 arrest — then her appearance in COVID funds reporting is one more data point in an already extraordinary pattern. If it is NOT the same person — then Paraguay has produced two separate individuals sharing the uncommon surname Laterra, both connected to fraud-related reporting. That is equally remarkable. Fair questions naturally follow: - Why did the name Lorena Laterra appear in reporting related to questioned COVID fund invoices? - Was this person a contractor, supplier, intermediary, or something else entirely? - Were authorities satisfied with any explanations provided? - Was this person ever publicly questioned about any involvement? - Is this even the same Lorena Laterra? Fair questions are not accusations. Readers can review the original reporting and draw their own conclusions.

The lawyer currently defending Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez in all active civil proceedings is Luis Guillermo Gayoso, License No. 56.382. He is the same lawyer who defended her on her 2021 forgery charge. He is also the same lawyer who previously represented Governor Hugo Javier González — the central figure in the USD 1 million COVID funds scandal in which a person named Lorena Laterra appeared in questioned invoice documentation. One lawyer. Connecting a documented serial fraudster. To a major government corruption scandal. In which the same uncommon surname appears. We make no accusations. But we note that this connection is documentable, verifiable, and has never — to our knowledge — been publicly examined. --- ## The Government Official Connection Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez has a documented Facebook connection to Rafael Laterra. Rafael Laterra is not a private citizen. He publicly identifies himself as Director de Gabinete, Ministerio de la Defensa Pública (www.mdp.gov.py). His role is confirmed by multiple official documents hosted on Paraguay's own government website, including a November 2023 ministry news article naming him as elected councillor to the BLODEPM Mercosur legal bloc. The surname Laterra is not common in Paraguay. We make no accusation that Rafael Laterra is connected to any wrongdoing. We note only that a documented Facebook connection exists between him and Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez, that they share an uncommon surname, and that the Laterra name now appears across: a documented decade-long fraud operation targeting foreigners, a USD 1 million COVID funds scandal, and a senior official at Paraguay's Ministry of Public Defense. --- ## The Pattern Step back and look at what we have documented: - **Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez** — arrested 2021, charged with forgery, 60+ criminal complaints, 4 active civil lawsuits, named in COVID funds reporting - **The name Lorena Laterra** — appears in questioned invoice documentation in a USD 1 million COVID scandal - **Luis Guillermo Gayoso** — defends Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez in civil proceedings, defended her on forgery charges, previously represented the governor at the center of the COVID funds scandal - **Rafael Laterra** — Director de Gabinete, Ministerio de la Defensa Pública, connected to Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez on Facebook, shares the uncommon surname Laterra Whether these are all the same people or not — whether these connections are innocent or not — the pattern cannot be explained by coincidence alone. Sixty criminal complaints. A decade of impunity. A shared uncommon surname connecting a serial fraudster to a government official. A lawyer connecting a fraud case to a major government corruption scandal. An immigration manager who told her victims she was "very well connected." She was not wrong. --- ## What We Are Asking We are not investigators. We are victims and advocates for victims. We publish this because law enforcement, prosecutors, and investigative journalists are far better positioned than we are to pull on these threads. If you are an investigator, prosecutor, or journalist covering Paraguay — we invite you to examine these connections independently. Everything documented here is sourced to public records, official government websites, and published media. Nothing is fabricated. Nothing is speculation presented as fact. The questions we raise are reasonable. The connections we document are real. The pattern we describe is visible to anyone willing to look. Sixty criminal complaints. Still operating. Still taking victims. Someone needs to look harder. --- *All sources cited throughout this post are publicly available. Court records are searchable at csj.gov.py.

Preguntas que Exigen Respuestas --- En algún momento de nuestra investigación sobre el caso de Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez — estafadora serial documentada, detenida en 2021, imputada por falsificación, con más de 60 denuncias penales y 4 demandas civiles activas de extranjeros — surgió una pregunta recurrente: ¿Por qué el nombre "Laterra" sigue apareciendo en tantas controversias aparentemente no relacionadas en Paraguay? --- ## La Conexión con los Fondos COVID Al revisar reportes de medios paraguayos, surgió un detalle curioso en la cobertura del escándalo de fondos públicos de la era COVID que involucra aproximadamente USD $1 millón en gastos cuestionados vinculados a la administración del ex Gobernador del Departamento Central, Hugo Javier González. El escándalo involucró alegaciones de contabilidad irregular, facturas cuestionadas y acusaciones de "facturas falsas". Los reportes públicos indicaron que los registros contables y las presentaciones de rendición de cuentas contenían nombres de varios individuos y entidades. Un nombre listado en ese reporte fue Lorena Laterra. Debemos ser claros: los reportes públicos revisados para este artículo no establecen que Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez haya sido investigada, imputada o condenada en relación con ese asunto específico. Ni siquiera podemos confirmar que sea la misma persona. Pero ese es precisamente el punto. Si es la misma persona — una mujer ya documentada como estafadora serial con 60 denuncias penales, una imputación por falsificación y un arresto en 2021 — entonces su aparición en el reporte de fondos COVID es un punto de datos más en un patrón ya extraordinario. Si NO es la misma persona — entonces Paraguay ha producido dos individuos distintos que comparten el poco común apellido Laterra, ambos conectados a reportes relacionados con fraude. Eso es igualmente notable. Las preguntas naturalmente siguen: - ¿Por qué el nombre Lorena Laterra apareció en reportes relacionados con facturas cuestionadas de fondos COVID? - ¿Era esta persona contratista, proveedora, intermediaria o algo completamente distinto? - ¿Quedaron satisfechas las autoridades con las explicaciones proporcionadas? - ¿Fue esta persona alguna vez cuestionada públicamente sobre su participación? - ¿Es siquiera la misma Lorena Laterra? Las preguntas justas no son acusaciones. Los lectores pueden revisar los reportes originales y sacar sus propias conclusiones.

El abogado que actualmente defiende a Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez en todos los procesos civiles activos es Luis Guillermo Gayoso, Mat. N° 56.382.

Es también el mismo abogado que previamente representó al Gobernador Hugo Javier González — la figura central en el escándalo de fondos COVID de USD 1 millón en el que el nombre de una persona llamada Lorena Laterra apareció en documentación de facturas cuestionadas. Un abogado. Conectando a una estafadora serial documentada. Con un importante escándalo de corrupción gubernamental. En el que aparece el mismo apellido poco común. No realizamos ninguna acusación. Pero señalamos que esta conexión es documentable, verificable, y nunca ha sido — hasta donde sabemos — examinada públicamente. --- ## La Conexión con el Funcionario Gubernamental Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez tiene una conexión documentada en Facebook con Rafael Laterra. Rafael Laterra no es un ciudadano privado. Se identifica públicamente como Director de Gabinete, Ministerio de la Defensa Pública (www.mdp.gov.py). Su cargo está confirmado por múltiples documentos oficiales alojados en el propio sitio web del gobierno paraguayo, incluyendo un artículo de noticias del ministerio de noviembre de 2023 que lo nombra como consejero electo del bloque jurídico BLODEPM Mercosur. El apellido Laterra no es común en Paraguay. No acusamos a Rafael Laterra de ningún delito. Señalamos únicamente que existe una conexión documentada en Facebook entre él y Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez, que comparten un apellido poco común, y que el nombre Laterra ahora aparece vinculado a: una operación de fraude documentada durante una década contra extranjeros, un escándalo de fondos COVID de USD 1 millón, y un alto funcionario del Ministerio de la Defensa Pública de Paraguay. --- ## El Patrón Retroceda y observe lo que hemos documentado: - **Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez** — detenida en 2021, imputada por falsificación, 60+ denuncias penales, 4 demandas civiles activas, nombrada en reporte de fondos COVID - **El nombre Lorena Laterra** — aparece en documentación de facturas cuestionadas en un escándalo COVID de USD 1 millón - **Luis Guillermo Gayoso** — defiende a Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez en procesos civiles, la defendió en la imputación por falsificación, previamente representó al gobernador en el centro del escándalo de fondos COVID - **Rafael Laterra** — Director de Gabinete, Ministerio de la Defensa Pública, conectado a Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez en Facebook, comparte el poco común apellido Laterra Sean o no las mismas personas — sean o no inocentes estas conexiones — el patrón no puede explicarse por coincidencia. Sesenta denuncias penales. Una década de impunidad. Un apellido poco común que conecta a una estafadora serial con un funcionario gubernamental. Un abogado que conecta un caso de fraude con un importante escándalo de corrupción gubernamental. Una gestora de inmigración que le dijo a sus víctimas que estaba "muy bien conectada." No se equivocaba. --- ## Lo Que Pedimos No somos investigadores. Somos víctimas y defensores de víctimas. Publicamos esto porque las fuerzas del orden, los fiscales y los periodistas de investigación están mucho mejor posicionados que nosotros para tirar de estos hilos. Si usted es investigador, fiscal o periodista que cubre Paraguay — lo invitamos a examinar estas conexiones de forma independiente. Todo lo documentado aquí proviene de registros públicos, sitios web oficiales del gobierno y medios publicados. Nada es inventado. Nada es especulación presentada como hecho.

The Laterra Facebook Connection: The Fraudster and the Government Official
Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez told every one of her victims the same thing at the start of every engagement: she was very well connected. Connected to judges. Connected to lawyers. Connected to bureaucrats. Connected to government. After a decade of 60 criminal complaints going nowhere, a forgery charge resolved with $200 to charity, and a 2021 arrest that produced no meaningful consequence — we believe her. The question is: connected to whom, exactly? --- ## The Facebook Connection Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez has a documented Facebook connection to **Rafael Laterra.** Rafael Laterra is not a private citizen. He publicly identifies himself as **Director de Gabinete, Ministerio de la Defensa Pública** — Chief of Staff, Ministry of Public Defense — (www.mdp.gov.py). His role is not a claim we are making. It is a claim he makes himself, confirmed by multiple official documents hosted on Paraguay's own government website, including a November 2023 ministry news article naming him as elected councillor to the BLODEPM Mercosur legal bloc, official signed correspondence addressed to him by title, and a stamped and sealed Acta de Conformidad bearing his signature and official government seal. The surname Laterra is not common in Paraguay. A documented serial fraudster with 60 criminal complaints, a forgery charge, and a 2021 arrest is connected on Facebook to a senior official at Paraguay's Ministry of Public Defense — and they share a rare surname. We make no accusation that Rafael Laterra is connected to any wrongdoing. We note the connection because it exists, it is documentable, and in the context of everything else on this page — it is a question that investigators and journalists are far better positioned to examine than victims. --- ## The Lawyer Nobody Is Talking About Now it gets harder to dismiss. The lawyer currently defending Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez in all active civil proceedings is **Luis Guillermo Gayoso, License No. 56.382.** He is the same lawyer who defended her on her 2021 forgery charge — meaning he has been protecting her legally for years. He is also the same lawyer who previously represented **Governor Hugo Javier González** — the central figure in a USD $1 million COVID funds scandal in which a person named Lorena Laterra appeared in questioned invoice documentation. Read that again slowly. The lawyer defending the documented serial fraudster is the same lawyer who defended the governor at the center of the scandal in which the fraudster's name — or someone sharing her rare surname — appeared in questioned government accounting records. One lawyer. Two clients. One uncommon surname appearing in both cases. We make no accusation. We document a connection. The difference matters — but so does the connection. --- ## The COVID Funds Scandal While reviewing Paraguayan media coverage, a name appeared in reporting on the COVID-era public funds scandal involving approximately USD $1 million in questioned expenditures connected to the administration of former Central Department Governor Hugo Javier González. The scandal alleged irregular accounting, questioned invoices, and "facturas falsas" — false invoices — in public reimbursement submissions. Among the names listed in that questioned invoice documentation, according to reporting by Última Hora, was: **Lorena Laterra.** We must be precise about what we are and are not saying. We are **not** saying this is the same Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez documented throughout this site. We cannot confirm that. Public reporting does not establish that any person named Lorena Laterra was investigated, charged, or convicted in connection with this matter. But here is where it gets more complicated. **If it IS the same person** — a woman already documented with 60 criminal complaints, a forgery charge, and a 2021 arrest — then her appearance in COVID funds reporting is one more data point in an already extraordinary pattern. **If it is NOT the same person** — then Paraguay has produced two entirely separate individuals sharing the rare surname Laterra, both surfacing in fraud-related reporting. That is, if anything, even more remarkable. And here is the question nobody has yet asked publicly: **If the Lorena Laterra named in the COVID scandal is a different person entirely — is she connected to Rafael Laterra?** Because if the answer is yes, the Laterra surname is now linking multiple individuals to multiple controversies through a web of connections that grows harder to explain with each new thread. And if the answer is no — we still have two people sharing an uncommon Paraguayan surname, both appearing in fraud-related reporting, both in some way adjacent to the same network of lawyers and government officials. The questions that follow are reasonable, not accusatory: - Why did the name Lorena Laterra appear in reporting on questioned COVID fund invoices? - Was this person a contractor, supplier, intermediary, or something else entirely? - Were authorities satisfied with any explanation provided? - Was this person ever publicly questioned about any involvement? - If this is a different Lorena Laterra — who is she, and is she connected to Rafael Laterra? Fair questions are not accusations. Readers should examine the original reporting and draw their own conclusions. **Source:** Última Hora — *"Afirman que Hugo Javier devolverá dinero si se confirman facturas falsas"* https://www.ultimahora.com/afirman-que-hugo-javier-devolvera-dinero-si-se-confirman-facturas-falsas-n2950556 --- ## The Full Picture Step back and look at what the public record shows: **Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez** — arrested 2021 at BNF Bank, charged with document forgery, 60+ criminal complaints, 4 active civil lawsuits from foreign nationals, named in Última Hora COVID funds reporting, told her victims she was "very well connected." **Rafael Laterra** — Director de Gabinete, Ministerio de la Defensa Pública, connected to Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez on Facebook, shares the rare surname Laterra. **The name Lorena Laterra** — appears in questioned invoice documentation in a USD $1 million COVID scandal. Same rare surname. Possibly the same person. Possibly not. Either answer raises serious questions — including whether a different Lorena Laterra is herself connected to Rafael Laterra. **Luis Guillermo Gayoso** — defends Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez in active civil proceedings, defended her on forgery charges in 2021, previously represented the governor at the center of the COVID funds scandal. One rare surname. Appearing across a documented serial fraud operation targeting foreigners spanning nearly a decade, a USD $1 million government corruption scandal, a shared defense lawyer connecting the fraud case to the corruption scandal, and a senior official at Paraguay's Ministry of Public Defense. She told her victims she was very well connected. A decade of impunity suggests she was telling the truth. --- ## What We Are Asking We are not investigators. We are not prosecutors. We are victims and advocates for victims — publishing what the public record shows and asking the questions that the public record demands. If you are a law enforcement officer, prosecutor, or investigative journalist covering Paraguay — examine these connections independently. Pull the court records. Review the government websites. Read the Última Hora reporting. Look at the Facebook connections. Examine who Luis Guillermo Gayoso has represented and when. Everything here is sourced to public records, official government websites, and published journalism. Nothing is fabricated. Nothing is speculation presented as established fact. The questions are reasonable. The connections are real. The pattern is visible to anyone willing to look. Sixty criminal complaints. A decade of impunity. A rare surname connecting a serial fraudster, a government corruption scandal, a shared defense lawyer, and a senior ministry official. **Someone needs to look harder.** --- *All sources cited in this post are publicly available.

Conectada a jueces. Conectada a abogados. Conectada a burócratas. Conectada al gobierno. Después de una década con 60 denuncias penales sin consecuencias, una imputación por falsificación resuelta con $200 a beneficencia, y un arresto en 2021 sin resultado real — le creemos. La pregunta es: ¿conectada a quién, exactamente? --- ## La Conexión en Facebook Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez tiene una conexión documentada en Facebook con **Rafael Laterra.** Rafael Laterra no es un ciudadano privado. Se identifica públicamente como **Director de Gabinete, Ministerio de la Defensa Pública** (www.mdp.gov.py). Su cargo no es una afirmación que nosotros hacemos. Es una afirmación que él mismo hace, confirmada por múltiples documentos oficiales alojados en el propio sitio web del gobierno paraguayo, incluyendo un artículo de noticias del ministerio de noviembre de 2023 que lo nombra como consejero electo del bloque jurídico BLODEPM Mercosur, correspondencia oficial firmada dirigida a él por título, y un Acta de Conformidad sellada y estampada con su firma y sello oficial del gobierno. El apellido Laterra no es común en Paraguay. Una estafadora serial documentada con 60 denuncias penales, una imputación por falsificación y un arresto en 2021 está conectada en Facebook a un alto funcionario del Ministerio de la Defensa Pública de Paraguay — y comparten un apellido raro. No acusamos a Rafael Laterra de ningún delito. Señalamos la conexión porque existe, es documentable, y en el contexto de todo lo demás en esta página — es una pregunta que los investigadores y periodistas están mucho mejor posicionados para examinar que las víctimas. --- ## El Abogado del Que Nadie Habla Ahora se vuelve más difícil de desestimar. El abogado que actualmente defiende a Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez en todos los procesos civiles activos es **Luis Guillermo Gayoso, Mat. N° 56.382.** Es el mismo abogado que la defendió en su imputación por falsificación de 2021 — lo que significa que la ha estado protegiendo legalmente durante años. Es también el mismo abogado que previamente representó al **Gobernador Hugo Javier González** — la figura central en un escándalo de fondos COVID de USD $1 millón en el que una persona llamada Lorena Laterra apareció en documentación de facturas cuestionadas. Léalo de nuevo despacio. El abogado que defiende a la estafadora serial documentada es el mismo abogado que defendió al gobernador en el centro del escándalo en el que el nombre de la estafadora — o alguien que comparte su raro apellido — apareció en registros contables gubernamentales cuestionados. Un abogado. Dos clientes. Un apellido poco común apareciendo en ambos casos. No realizamos ninguna acusación. Documentamos una conexión. La diferencia importa — pero también importa la conexión. --- ## El Escándalo de Fondos COVID Al revisar la cobertura mediática paraguaya, un nombre apareció en los reportes sobre el escándalo de fondos públicos de la era COVID que involucra aproximadamente USD $1 millón en gastos cuestionados vinculados a la administración del ex Gobernador del Departamento Central, Hugo Javier González. El escándalo alegó contabilidad irregular, facturas cuestionadas y "facturas falsas" en las presentaciones de rendición de cuentas públicas. Entre los nombres listados en esa documentación de facturas cuestionadas, según el reporte de Última Hora, estaba: **Lorena Laterra.** Debemos ser precisos sobre lo que decimos y lo que no decimos. **No** estamos diciendo que esta sea la misma Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez documentada en este sitio. No podemos confirmar eso. Los reportes públicos no establecen que ninguna persona llamada Lorena Laterra haya sido investigada, imputada o condenada en relación con este asunto. Pero aquí es donde se complica más. **Si ES la misma persona** — una mujer ya documentada con 60 denuncias penales, una imputación por falsificación y un arresto en 2021 — entonces su aparición en el reporte de fondos COVID es un punto de datos más en un patrón ya extraordinario. **Si NO es la misma persona** — entonces Paraguay ha producido dos individuos completamente distintos que comparten el raro apellido Laterra, ambos apareciendo en reportes relacionados con fraude. Eso es, si acaso, aún más notable. Y aquí está la pregunta que nadie ha formulado públicamente: **Si la Lorena Laterra nombrada en el escándalo COVID es una persona completamente diferente — ¿está conectada a Rafael Laterra?** Porque si la respuesta es sí, el apellido Laterra ahora vincula a múltiples individuos con múltiples controversias a través de una red de conexiones que se vuelve más difícil de explicar con cada nuevo hilo. Y si la respuesta es no — seguimos teniendo dos personas que comparten un raro apellido paraguayo, ambas apareciendo en reportes relacionados con fraude, ambas de alguna manera adyacentes a la misma red de abogados y funcionarios gubernamentales. Las preguntas que siguen son razonables, no acusatorias: - ¿Por qué el nombre Lorena Laterra apareció en reportes sobre facturas cuestionadas de fondos COVID? - ¿Era esta persona contratista, proveedora, intermediaria o algo completamente distinto? - ¿Quedaron satisfechas las autoridades con cualquier explicación proporcionada? - ¿Fue esta persona alguna vez cuestionada públicamente sobre alguna participación? - Si esta es una Lorena Laterra diferente — ¿quién es, y está conectada a Rafael Laterra?

Mismo apellido raro. Posiblemente la misma persona. Posiblemente no. Cualquiera de las dos respuestas plantea preguntas serias — incluyendo si una Lorena Laterra diferente está ella misma conectada a Rafael Laterra. **Luis Guillermo Gayoso** — defiende a Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez en procesos civiles activos, la defendió en la imputación por falsificación de 2021, previamente representó al gobernador en el centro del escándalo de fondos COVID. Un apellido raro. Apareciendo en una operación de fraude serial documentada contra extranjeros que abarca casi una década, un escándalo de corrupción gubernamental de USD $1 millón, un abogado defensor compartido que conecta el caso de fraude con el escándalo de corrupción, y un alto funcionario del Ministerio de la Defensa Pública de Paraguay. Les dijo a sus víctimas que estaba muy bien conectada. Una década de impunidad sugiere que decía la verdad. --- ## Lo Que Pedimos No somos investigadores. No somos fiscales. Somos víctimas y defensores de víctimas — publicando lo que muestra el registro público y formulando las preguntas que ese registro exige. Si usted es un agente de la ley, fiscal o periodista de investigación que cubre Paraguay — examine estas conexiones de forma independiente. Extraiga los expedientes judiciales.
