Uruguayan fugitive Sebastián Marset, wanted by justice and accused of being a powerful drug trafficker in South America, has offered to surrender to Paraguayan authorities in exchange for his wife, who is being held in the country, said Paraguayan Prosecutor General Emiliano Rolón on Tuesday (3). Marset, one of the five most wanted fugitives by the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), fled with his wife Gianina García Troche and their children from their home in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, on July 29, 2023, a day before a massive police operation to capture them. García Troche was extradited two weeks ago from Spain to Paraguay, where she is accused of money laundering. She was arrested in July 2024 at Madrid's airport upon arrival from Dubai. In statements to Paraguayan newspaper ABC, Rolón said that at the end of 2024, a lawyer and former judge, whose name was withheld, 'presented a document proposing the surrender [of Marset] based on a concession agreement for him'. The proposal implied that Marset 'would surrender to justice and his wife would be cleared of all charges', he detailed. 'We told him it's impossible to reach an agreement with a fugitive on anything, but we assured him that if he surrenders, he will be treated as he should be, with all the guarantees that the Constitution and laws offer', the prosecutor general assured. Rolón clarified that 'it was no serious conversation because, in fact, [Marset] is not even in the country'. Rolón spoke after the release of a letter attributed to Marset on Tuesday by Uruguayan radio station Carve. In the letter, Marset speaks about the governments of Uruguay, Bolivia, and the United States and focuses especially on the Paraguayan government: 'I know many things. Perhaps that's why, when my lawyers spoke with the Paraguayan prosecutor general to ask me to surrender and leave my family alone, they didn't accept', he says. The letter accuses Paraguayan authorities of mounting a political and judicial persecution against his family and 'of benefiting from the same drug trafficking they claim to combat'. 'They will never catch me because they have no intelligence', the text says, and adds: 'If they ever want to reach an agreement with me, my lawyers can sit down to listen, but leave my family in peace'. 'I know that nothing is free, but tell me the price and let's end this farce', he proposes. García Troche has been imprisoned since May 21 in a military prison outside Asunción. On the same day, the US government formally accused Marset of laundering money derived from drug trafficking profits and suggested that he may be in Venezuela. 'I have no fear of those damn gringos', Marset allegedly says in the letter.
