Orlando Arévalo Zielanko

Orlando Arévalo Zielanko is a Paraguayan politician who recently made headlines due to his resignation from the Cámara de Diputados amidst a scandal involving alleged influence peddling and corruption. His departure was prompted by pressure from opposition parties aiming to initiate a loss of investiture process against him, following revelations from judicial examinations of a deceased colleague's phone, which implicated Arévalo in dubious activities related to judicial appointments. This was his first term as a deputy, during which he faced multiple accusations and scrutiny concerning the legitimacy of his legal qualifications and the rapid accumulation of wealth, leading to ongoing investigations by the Fiscalía and Contraloría.
