Usury victim insists RGD and son continued operations from jail

A victim of alleged usury by Ramón González Daher, who is serving a 15-year prison sentence, has testified before the Fiscal Unit in Coronel Oviedo, Paraguay. The victim, represented by lawyer Federico Campos López Moreira, insists that both González Daher and his son, Fernando González Karjallo, continued to extort clients from within prison.

Campos López Moreira formally requested that the cell phones seized from the inmates' cells be examined. He stated that evidence suggests the father and son duo used these phones to continue their alleged extortion activities while incarcerated. The lawyer emphasized the gravity of the situation, noting that authorities were aware of González Daher's alleged pattern of extortion and yet allowed him and his son the means to continue such activities.

This testimony follows the seizure of 10 cell phones from the prison cells of González Daher and his son on January 29, 2025. Other victims, including Julio Adolfo Mendoza Yampey and Armindo Vera Ferrer, have previously supported the call for the examination of these devices. The lawyer urged the Public Ministry to expedite the data extraction from the seized cell phones, arguing that the evidence found clearly indicates ongoing criminal behavior.

González Daher is currently serving a 15-year sentence for aggravated usury, money laundering, and false reporting. His son, Fernando González Karjallo, received a 5-year sentence. The victims are demanding the immediate prosecution of both father and son in relation to the alleged continued extortion activities from prison, citing the flagrant evidence discovered.
