Two arrested in Asunción microcenter after national team match

Authorities in Asunción apprehended two individuals and detained at least 15 others in the city's microcenter following a match featuring the national team, known as 'Albirroja.' The police presence was heightened to maintain order and prevent illicit activities in areas with high concentrations of football fans.

One of the detained individuals, identified as Ángel Rodrigo Villordo Torres, 21, was found carrying a replica firearm and a significant amount of cash, approximately G. 2,500,000. According to the arresting officers, Villordo Torres claimed the toy gun was for "personal use." He had no prior police record and was handed over to the Public Ministry along with the seized items.

In a separate incident, Adriana Soledad Marín Cabrera, 36, was arrested for physically assaulting a female sub-officer. The altercation occurred when police attempted to identify and remove individuals posing as unofficial parking attendants, a common tactic used for extortion. Cabrera reportedly resisted identification and attacked sub-officer Liz Arzamendia, causing injuries to her face and left hand.

Additionally, several minors were detained for suspicious behavior in the microcenter, where thousands gathered to watch the match. The police operation aimed to curb petty crime, prevent extortion by "cuidacoches" (car watchers), and ensure public safety during and after the event. Approximately 15 people were detained or held for acting as unofficial parking attendants or for lacking identification during the security checks.
