  • The operation is linked to Miño's homicide investigation, with two individuals identified as potentially involved in his death and the escape of suspects.

Authorities in Paraguay have seized weapons and a motorcycle during an operation in La Paz, linked to the ongoing investigation into the murder of Rolando Ramón Miño. The joint operation between the National Police and FTC Sur (Joint Task Force South) targeted information about an arms delivery.

During the operation, officers encountered an individual on a motorcycle who fled towards a residence. This individual is believed to be Eugenio Arévalos Sosa, who has a prior legal record for violating arms laws. Another person, identified as Roberto Algarín Arévalos, allegedly assisted in the escape of suspects who fled on foot into a wooded area, reportedly carrying rifle-type weapons.

The investigation connects to the July 23 slaying of Miño, 27, who was shot dead in Cambyretá. The seized items include a Marlin rifle with a scope and silencer, a 16mm shotgun, and a red Taiga Arizona motorcycle. The prosecutor overseeing the case, Egidio Borja, is also involved in this new development.
