Lorena Laterra Victims — Public Fraud Warning | Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez

Public Criminal Record — All Independently Verifiable

Arrest — August 2021

Causa N° 3115/2021 — "Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez s/ Estafa y Apropiación" — handled by Fiscal Estefanía González, Unidad Penal 4.

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).

Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez was formally charged with Production of Non-Authentic Documents (forgery) before:

Date November 4, 2021

Prosecutor María Estefanía González

Defense Attorney 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.

Attempts to Silence Victims and Suppress Public Records

Beyond her fraud and forgery record, Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez has a documented pattern of using the courts as a weapon to silence victims and erase public evidence of her crimes.

2014 Lourdes Laterra y Otros s/ Injuria y Calumnia — She formally initiated a private criminal defamation action. This is a standard intimidation tactic used to threaten victims and whistleblowers with criminal counter-suits for speaking out about fraud.

2021 Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez c/ Medios Periodísticos Digitales s/ Habeas Data — Following her August 2021 arrest, she filed a constitutional Habeas Data lawsuit against Paraguayan digital news outlets. Her objective: invoke the "right to be forgotten" to legally force internet search engines and newspapers to scrub all online records, photos, and articles documenting her arrests. She lost. The court ruled that public safety and the right to information outweighed her personal digital privacy — allowing national media to legally preserve all public warnings and reporting on her activities.

The Habeas Data lawsuit is significant. Filing it demonstrates that she was fully aware of the damage her public arrest record caused to her business — and that she deliberately attempted to erase it rather than contest the underlying facts.

Criminal Complaints — Verifiable by Case Number

The Paraguay Public Prosecutor's office confirmed personally that there are 60 criminal complaints lodged against Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez.

Case 1269/17 Unidad 2 — 2017

Case 4284/22 Unidad 17 — 2022

Case 4711/22 Unidad 17 — 2022

Case 1321/23 Unidad 11 — 2023

Additional criminal proceedings:

Lourdes Laterra y Otros s/ Injuria y Calumnia — 2014 — formally prosecuted

Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez c/ Medios Periodísticos Digitales s/ Habeas Data — 2021 — she lost

Asset Seizure

An embargo has been initiated on vehicles owned by Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez in Paraguay as part of asset seizure proceedings in connection with civil damages claims.

Tax ID (RUC) Administratively Blocked — Operating Illegally

Following three consecutive Ministry of Finance execution judgments (2014, 2017, 2018), the Paraguayan tax authority — now the Dirección Nacional de Ingresos Tributarios (DNIT) — placed an administrative block on her RUC (Registro Único del Contribuyente — Taxpayer Identification Number).

This effectively flagged her business, Lorena Laterra – Business, Legal, and Translation Services, as operating without valid state tax clearance. A blocked RUC means she is legally barred from issuing valid fiscal receipts (facturas) under Paraguayan tax law.

Any client who paid her and received a receipt may have received an invalid fiscal document. Any residency or business filing she submitted requiring valid fiscal documentation may be compromised.

Critical Concern: Possible Government Protection and Prosecutorial Misconduct

This section documents three independent threads that, taken together, raise serious questions about whether Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez has benefited from protection within Paraguay's legal and governmental systems. Each thread is presented factually with confirmed and unconfirmed elements clearly distinguished. We ask that investigators with appropriate authority examine whether the pattern warrants further inquiry.

Thread One

Luis Guillermo Gayoso — The Documented Network Link

Luis Guillermo Gayoso (License No. 56.382) has defended Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez continuously since at least 2021 — first on her forgery charge, and currently in all four active civil lawsuits. This represents years of uninterrupted legal protection for a person facing 60 criminal complaints.

Gayoso is the same lawyer who represented former Central Department Governor Hugo Javier González — the central figure in a USD $1 million COVID reactivation funds scandal. In public reporting on that scandal by Última Hora, the name Lorena Laterra appeared in connection with questioned invoice documentation. A distinct individual — Lorena Teresa Laterra Núñez — has been separately identified in public reporting as involved in that same COVID invoicing scheme as a funcionaria por transferencia who issued invoices without performing services.

Source: Última Hora — July 11, 2021 — ultimahora.com/…facturas-falsas

Confirmed

Luis Guillermo Gayoso defends Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez in all active proceedings
Luis Guillermo Gayoso defended Governor Hugo Javier González in the USD $1 million COVID scandal
The name Lorena Laterra appeared in questioned invoice records reported by Última Hora in that scandal

Not Established by Public Records

Whether Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez and Lorena Teresa Laterra Núñez are the same person or directly related
Whether Gayoso's overlapping representations constitute a coordinated network arrangement

One lawyer. A serial fraudster with 60 complaints. A corrupt governor. A USD $1 million public funds scandal. A Laterra name in questioned invoices. These are independently documented facts. Whether they constitute a coordinated network is a question for investigators with subpoena power.

Thread Two

Sócrates Rafael Laterra Ocampos — Chief of Staff, Ministry of Public Defense

Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez has a documented Facebook friendship with Sócrates Rafael Laterra Ocampos, who serves as Jefe de Gabinete (Chief of Staff) of Paraguay's Ministry of Public Defense. His full name, title, and salary are confirmed by independent Paraguayan media.

Source: El Observador Paraguay — May 8, 2024 — observador.com.py/altos-salarios…

Confirmed

Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez and Rafael Laterra Ocampos share the uncommon surname Laterra
A documented Facebook friendship exists between them
Rafael Laterra holds a senior position at the Ministry of Public Defense
Rafael Laterra has his own documented record of institutional misconduct (see below)

Not Established by Public Records

A direct family relationship (blood or marriage) between the two individuals

Rafael Laterra's Own Documented Misconduct — The 2022 Nepotism Case

In October 2022, independent Paraguayan media reported that Rafael Laterra used his position on a hiring selection committee at the Ministry of Public Defense to advance his niece, Andrea Laterra, from 37th place to a top-ranked position. He removed himself from the selection commission for unspecified 'personal reasons' — with critics alleging the removal was backdated to conceal the conflict of interest.

Source: El Observador Paraguay — October 21, 2022 — 'Corrupción en Defensa Pública: Trampa en concurso para favorecer a operadores' — observador.com.py

This is independently reported, sourced Paraguayan journalism. It establishes that Rafael Laterra has previously used procedural concealment — backdating his recusal — to manipulate an institutional process in favor of a family member. That documented pattern is directly relevant context for investigators examining why 60 criminal complaints against someone who shares his surname and his Facebook connections have produced zero convictions.

She told every victim she was 'very well connected' to judges, lawyers, and government officials. A decade of impunity suggests she was not lying. Whether that connection runs through Rafael Laterra, through Gayoso, through the prosecutor described below, or some combination — is precisely the question this section asks investigators to examine.

Thread Three

Prosecutor Oscar Delfino — Unit 11, Asunción — A Pattern of Inverted Justice

This thread has been substantially strengthened by independent documentation of a second case under Prosecutor Oscar Delfino that follows an identical pattern to the Laterra complaints: the fraudster uses falsified documents, the victim reports it, Delfino's unit protects the fraudster and pursues the victim.

The Laterra Pattern at Unit 11

Multiple victims report that criminal complaints filed against Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez in District 11 were handled by Prosecutor Oscar Delfino — and produced no meaningful action. Complaints were neither investigated nor formally dismissed. They simply stopped moving. She continued operating and acquiring new victims throughout this period.

The Webber Kaefer Case — Independent Corroboration of the Pattern

In 2024, independent Paraguayan media documented a separate case under Prosecutor Oscar Delfino at Unit 11 that demonstrates the same pattern with disturbing precision.

The victim: Jairo Antonio Webber Kaefer, a Paraguayan entrepreneur and investor.
The property: A finca in Minga Guazú valued at approximately US$3 million.
The fraud: Jorge Ricardo Arriola Asimo — a documented serial fraudster labeled 'megaestafador' by Paraguayan police as far back as 2012, with multiple prior imprisonments and a history of identity usurpation, fraudulent bank accounts, and property schemes — allegedly converted a temporary power of attorney into a falsified sales contract to seize control of Webber's property.

Delfino's response, as reported by multiple independent Paraguayan outlets:

Arriola Asimo — the alleged perpetrator with the fake contract — was not imputed by Delfino's unit
Webber Kaefer — the victim who reported the fraud — was rapidly charged with estafa by Delfino's unit
Paraguayan media used the phrase 'sugestiva celeridad' (suspicious speed) to describe how fast Delfino moved against the innocent property owner while doing nothing about the documented fraudster
Diario Vanguardia confirmed separately: 'Supuesto autor de millonaria estafa sigue sin ser imputado por la Fiscalía' — the alleged scammer remained uncharged while the victim faced prosecution

Sources:
La Clave / Moopio.com — September 2024 — 'Sugestiva celeridad fiscal para imputar a empresario que reclama su propiedad'
La Clave / Moopio.com — September 2024 — 'Estafador profesional falsifica contrato para apoderarse de valiosa finca en Minga Guazú'
Diario Vanguardia — September 2, 2024 — 'Supuesto autor de millonaria estafa sigue sin ser imputado por la Fiscalía'

The Comparative Pattern — Side by Side

Person	Action	Delfino / Unit 11 Response
Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sánchez	Uses falsified documents. 60 complaints filed.	No charges.
Jorge Ricardo Arriola Asimo	Uses falsified documents. Multiple complaints filed. 2021 complaint disappeared.	No charges in 2024 property fraud.
Jairo Antonio Webber Kaefer	Legitimate property owner. Reports fraud to Unit 11.	Charged by Delfino — with 'sugestiva celeridad.'

This is not slow justice. This is documented inverted justice — victims charged, fraudsters protected — under the same prosecutor, at the same unit, across multiple independent cases reported by multiple independent media outlets.

We make no accusation that Prosecutor Delfino accepted payment or engaged in deliberate misconduct. We document the pattern and ask that investigators with appropriate authority determine whether it constitutes negligence, deliberate inaction, corruption, or some combination thereof.

Summary of the Three Threads

Taken individually, each thread is notable. Taken together, they describe a situation in which:

A serial fraudster with 60 complaints and zero convictions has operated freely for over a decade
Her lawyer also defended the central figure in a USD $1 million government corruption scandal involving a Laterra name in questioned invoices
She has a documented social media connection to a senior government official who shares her uncommon surname and who has his own record of institutional manipulation
Her complaints at Unit 11 reportedly went nowhere under a prosecutor who — in a separate documented case — charged a fraud victim while leaving the documented fraudster uncharged
A second serial fraudster's complaint disappeared entirely from the Ministerio Público system after being filed in the same prosecutorial ecosystem
She consistently told victims she was 'very well connected' — and the public record does not contradict her

We present these threads not as a proven conspiracy but as a pattern that meets the threshold for professional investigation. We respectfully ask that this be treated as exactly that: a referral for investigation, not a set of accusations.

• Collecting upfront fees for permanent residency processing, then filing for temporary residency or nothing at all

U.S. Banking Infrastructure Used
Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sanchez used U.S.-based banking platforms Wise and Mercury to receive and move funds connected to her fraud operations. The use of U.S. financial institutions and a U.S. corporate entity to facilitate international fraud may constitute wire fraud and other federal offenses regardless of where the underlying conduct occurred.

Victims Located in the United States at Time of Fraud
Multiple victims were physically located within the United States at the time they were being actively defrauded. This was not exclusively a foreign crime — it was conducted across borders into the United States.

Personal U.S. Connections
Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sanchez previously resided in New York. This connection suggests ongoing ties to the United States and potential U.S. jurisdictional reach.

Recommended Federal Referrals
• FBI International Operations Division
• FinCEN — regarding use of U.S. banking platforms Wise and Mercury for cross-border fraud

CRITICAL CONCERN: POSSIBLE GOVERNMENT PROTECTION AND PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT

Thread 1 — Luis Guillermo Gayoso: Luis Guillermo Gayoso (License No. 56.382) has defended Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sanchez continuously since at least 2021. Gayoso is the same lawyer who represented former Central Department Governor Hugo Javier González in a USD $1 million COVID reactivation funds scandal. The name Lorena Laterra appeared in questioned invoice documentation in that scandal. One lawyer. A serial fraudster with 60 complaints. A corrupt governor. A USD $1 million public funds scandal. A Laterra name in questioned invoices.

Thread 2 — Rafael Laterra Ocampos: Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sanchez has a documented Facebook friendship with Sócrates Rafael Laterra Ocampos, Chief of Staff of Paraguay's Ministry of Public Defense. In October 2022, independent Paraguayan media reported that Rafael Laterra used his position to advance his niece, Andrea Laterra, from 37th place to a top-ranked position in a hiring committee — backdating his recusal to conceal the conflict of interest.

Thread 3 — Prosecutor Oscar Delfino: Multiple victims report that criminal complaints against Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sanchez at Unit 11 under Prosecutor Oscar Delfino produced no meaningful action. In 2024, Delfino's unit charged fraud victim Jairo Antonio Webber Kaefer while leaving documented serial fraudster Jorge Ricardo Arriola Asimo uncharged in a US$3 million property fraud. Paraguayan media used the phrase 'sugestiva celeridad' (suspicious speed) to describe Delfino's actions against the victim.

Taken together: a serial fraudster with 60 complaints and zero convictions has operated freely for over a decade. We present these threads not as a proven conspiracy but as a pattern that meets the threshold for professional investigation.

OUR REQUEST

We respectfully ask that the Fraud Prevention Unit:
1. Add Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sanchez to any fraud warning resources provided to Americans traveling to or relocating in Paraguay
2. Share this briefing with relevant U.S. law enforcement bodies including the FBI, FTC, and FinCEN
3. Consider issuing a public consumer fraud alert warning Americans about immigration and real estate fraud in Paraguay
4. Examine whether her use of a Florida LLC and U.S. banking platforms Wise and Mercury constitutes federal wire fraud or money laundering offenses
5. Note that multiple victims were located within the United States at the time the fraud was committed against them
6. Refer the three documented threads to appropriate U.S. diplomatic and law enforcement channels for independent review
7. Consider whether the combination of a Miami-registered LLC, U.S. banking infrastructure, and possible prosecutorial protection warrants escalation to the U.S. Department of Justice or the State Department's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL)
8. Note that the pattern documented at Unit 11 under Prosecutor Delfino warrants attention as a systemic concern beyond the Laterra matter alone

We are available to provide any additional documentation, evidence, or victim testimony required.

PREOCUPACIÓN CRÍTICA: POSIBLE PROTECCIÓN GUBERNAMENTAL Y CONDUCTA FISCAL IRREGULAR

Hilo 1 — Luis Guillermo Gayoso (Matrícula N° 56.382): Ha defendido a Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sanchez de forma ininterrumpida desde al menos 2021. Es el mismo abogado que representó al ex Gobernador Hugo Javier González en el escándalo de fondos COVID de USD $1 millón. El nombre Lorena Laterra apareció en facturas cuestionadas de ese escándalo.

Hilo 2 — Sócrates Rafael Laterra Ocampos, Jefe de Gabinete del Ministerio de la Defensa Pública: Tiene una amistad documentada en Facebook con Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sanchez. En octubre de 2022, medios independientes reportaron que utilizó su cargo para favorecer a su sobrina Andrea Laterra, antedatando su recusación para ocultar el conflicto de intereses.

Hilo 3 — Fiscal Oscar Delfino, Unidad 11: Múltiples víctimas reportan que las denuncias contra Lourdes Lorena Laterra Sanchez en la Unidad 11 no produjeron ninguna acción significativa. En 2024, la unidad de Delfino imputó a la víctima Jairo Antonio Webber Kaefer mientras dejó sin imputar al estafador documentado Jorge Ricardo Arriola Asimo en un fraude de US$3 millones. Los medios paraguayos usaron la expresión 'sugestiva celeridad' para describir la velocidad con que Delfino actuó contra el propietario inocente.
