Marset was captured in March 2026 in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia
The Paraguayan Prosecutor's Office has filed an indictment against Gianina García Troche, the former partner of Uruguayan drug trafficker Sebastián Marset, that reconstructs in detail the criminal structure operating from Paraguay that for years moved cocaine from Bolivia to major European ports. The document, cited by the Uruguayan newspaper El País, lays out a three-pronged organization, nearly a thousand clandestine flights inside the Paraguayan Chaco, and a verified export volume amounting to 17,340 kilos of cocaine seized in Belgium and the Netherlands, valued at up to USD 434 million on the European market.
According to the reconstruction, the organization was articulated around three legs: Marset coordinated contacts with international suppliers and buyers; Paraguayan national Miguel Insfrán Galeano, known as “Tío Rico,” managed logistics inside Paraguay; and a Bolivian faction supplied the cocaine. The Uruguayan trafficker had arrived in Paraguay in 2018 carrying false Brazilian and Bolivian documents under the identity of Gabriel de Souza Beumer, and presented himself as an entertainment entrepreneur through the firm Mastian Productions, a front that allowed him to justify his wealth and public activity.
