A Ultranza: Preliminary Hearing for Gianina García Rescheduled to August

The preliminary hearing for Gianina García Troche, the Uruguayan partner of alleged drug trafficker Sebastián Marset and a defendant in the "A Ultranza" case, has been postponed to August 10. The decision was made by Judge Rosarito Montanía, who specializes in organized crime.

The hearing, initially scheduled for June 9, was rescheduled to ensure that García's right to defense is not violated and to guarantee procedural equality with other co-defendants. Judge Montanía noted that a significant portion of the "A Ultranza" case file is currently being reproduced for an ongoing trial involving 18 individuals, including Miguel Ángel Insfrán Galeano, known as "Tío Rico" and considered Marset's partner in international cocaine trafficking.

This ongoing trial could limit García's defense team's access to the case file, potentially leading to a lack of defense. Prosecutor Deny Yoon Pak had accused García on May 20 and requested that she be sent to trial.

The fiscal accusation against García, filed on the evening of May 20, charges her with money laundering derived from drug trafficking, specifically for concealing and simulating the origin of illicit funds. According to the prosecution, García fully collaborated to launder money from drug trafficking.

Official records indicate that García first entered Paraguay on May 15, 2018, and has since registered a total of 8 entries and 6 exits. Her partner, Sebastián Marset, entered Paraguay on April 8, 2018. García was later transferred to a maximum-security prison.
