Liz Prieto

Liz Prieto is a dedicated educator whose life has been drastically affected by her entanglement with a criminal organization known as the 'Mafia de los pagarés.' In a heartbreaking account, she described how a seemingly innocent loan of G. 1,000,000 in 2016, alongside a microondas, spiraled into a crippling debt of G. 3,000 million. Despite her impressive academic achievements, including being part of the honors list at the National University of Asunción, she is now struggling to support her family on a meager monthly income of G. 1,600,000, which must cover the needs of her two children and the medical expenses for her terminally ill father. Prieto's story highlights the devastating impact of predatory lending practices and the emotional toll it takes on hardworking individuals and their families.
