The Court sentenced Ramón Emilio and Andrés Felipe Pérez Hoyos, two brothers and Colombian citizens that they had accepted their responsibility in the financing and planning of the crime that ended the life of the Paraguayan prosecutor, Marcelo Pecci, on May 10, 2022.
“The investigation showed that the two sentenced men held several meetings with others involved in the homicide to provide them with inputs and finalize details. Likewise, it was accredited that they had 1,600 million pesos to carry out the criminal action on a private beach on Isla Barú (Cartagena), on May 10, 2022, ”says the statement from the control entity.
