Gianina García Troche, the partner of alleged drug lord Sebastián Marset, is facing accusations of money laundering in Paraguay. Prosecutors claim she enjoyed illicit financial benefits derived from Marset's activities and allegedly collaborated in maintaining the criminal organization.

According to the prosecution, García Troche's alleged complicity includes opening bank accounts in Paraguay with significant financial activity, despite lacking any registered legal income in Paraguay or Uruguay. She is also accused of establishing companies and making substantial capital contributions.

Further allegations detail her use of luxury goods and assets linked to the "A Ultranza" organization, which Marset purportedly co-led with Miguel Ángel Insfrán. The investigation highlights her use of aircraft connected to the cartel, with flights recorded between 2020 and 2021, a period when the organization was allegedly active in exporting large quantities of cocaine.

García Troche's preliminary hearing is set for June 9. The case centers on her alleged involvement in financial activities that supported the drug trafficking network.
