Federico Ezequiel Santoro Vasallo
Federico Ezequiel Santoro Vasallo, a 44-year-old Paraguayan national, recently gained notoriety for pleading guilty in a U.S. court to charges of money laundering tied to drug trafficking. His background is marred by numerous serious allegations in Paraguay, including involvement in human trafficking and connections to prominent narcotraffickers. Despite these allegations, he operated with apparent impunity, continuing his business dealings, including facilitating the transportation of an Iranian-Venezuelan aircraft linked to terrorist organizations. Santoro's legal troubles escalated in August 2023 when he was finally charged by the Paraguayan authorities, coinciding with his extradition to the United States, where he faces significant charges related to an extensive drug trafficking network.
