The pending extradition of yet another alleged key player in Sebatian Marset’s money laundering schemes marks his latest setback, as the drug trafficker’s network appears to unravel.

Paraguay, Bolivia, and Spain met on August 9 to discuss the extradition of Gianina García Troche, the life partner and purported business manager of notorious drug trafficker Sebastián Marset, for allegedly laundering millions in drug money. The extradition requests by Paraguay and Bolivia follow her arrest on July 17 at Madrid’s international airport, as she flew in from Dubai.

Marset is an internationally wanted Uruguayan drug trafficker. He was first convicted of trafficking marijuana in Uruguay in 2013 before progressing onto cocaine trafficking, and is accused of coordinating shipments of tons of cocaine from Bolivia to Europe. He is also suspected of laundering millions of dollars through fronts ranging from luxury car shops to professional football teams.

In 2022, Interpol issued a red notice for García Troche at Paraguay’s request for her alleged role in Marset’s criminal network. The network is accused of setting up multiple money laundering fronts in Paraguay, which plays an important role in transporting cocaine to Europe due to its proximity to cocaine-producing nations. It is unclear whether García Troche turned herself in.

She is wanted in Paraguay as part of Operation A Ultraza Py, the largest and most successful anti-money laundering and cocaine trafficking campaign in the country’s history. She is accused of laundering the proceeds of Marset’s international cocaine deals. Bolivia, where García Troche briefly lived with Marset and their children, also requested her extradition for drug trafficking, criminal association, and conspiracy.

After a narrow escape from authorities in Bolivia in July 2023, the family fell off the radar, with most evidence pointing to García Troche and their children relocating to Dubai. Marset’s whereabouts are unknown.

What Is García Troche’s Alleged Role?

With millions in drug transactions, Marset needed a way to launder money, so he turned to friends and family to set up seemingly legitimate businesses.

One of those businesses was Total Cars, a luxury vehicle company that was part of the San Jorge Group S.A. The shop, based in Asunción, Paraguay, was allegedly opened to launder profits from Marset’s drug trafficking. Total Cars’ setup included a number of people now arrested or wanted under Operation A Ultranza Py, including Alberto Koube Ayala, who is accused of laundering money through several other fronts, such as Tapiracuai S.A. Paperwork to establish the San Jorge Group was filed in July 2021, with 75% of shares and the role of chairperson going to García Troche, according to court documents.

“She was Marset’s right hand — obviously because of trust, because of the closeness — and at the same time she served as a frontwoman so he could launder money,” Nicolás Centurión, an Uruguay crime observer and analyst at the Latin American Center for Strategic Analysis (Centro Latinoamericano de Análisis Estratégico – CLAE), told InSight Crime.

García Troche also worked as a “transport agent,” depositing thousands of dollars monthly into her bank account. The documentation to justify these transfers turned out to be fake.

According to Marset, all of García Troche’s business operations are legitimate, and completely separate from his own shady dealings.

 “There is no one from my family involved, and I will never bring my family into it,” he said during an interview with the program Santo y Se?a.

Marset’s Friends Keep Falling

García Troche is the latest in a series of arrests of alleged key players close to Marset, whose international network appears to be unraveling.

After Marset was released from prison in his native Uruguay, he relocated to Paraguay around 2019 to build up his trafficking empire. But he did not start from scratch. Instead, he began working with established criminal clans with deep political connections, like the one headed by Miguel ángel Insfrán Galeano, alias “Tío Rico”.

Tío Rico is accused of operating the cocaine trafficking and money laundering network alongside Marset. Messages between Tío Rico and Marset intercepted by Paraguayan authorities detail their criminal alliance, including discussions of killings and how to dispose of bodies. Francisco Luis Correa, who is accused of killing Paraguayan anti-mafia prosecutor, Marcelo Pecci, claimed Tío Rico was one of the people behind the order for Pecci’s murder.

Tío Rico’s brother, José Alberto Insfrán Galeano, is the founder of a megachurch Revival Center (Centro de Avivamiento), where ex-congressman Juan Carlos Ozorio attended services. Ozorio would later be arrested, accused of laundering money for the Insfráns as president of the San Cristobal Cooperative. Authorities believe the Centro de Avivamiento was also a money laundering front for the family. Both of the Insfráns were arrested in 2023.

Federico Santoro Vasallo was also arrested in 2023, then extradited to the United States on July 11, where he faces charges of money laundering. Santoro Vasallo is believed to have overseen payments for the clan. He collected money when it needed to be collected, and paid those that needed to be paid. He is also accused of advising Marset on the best ways to launder his fortunes.

But Santoro Vasallo’s criminal career stretches beyond money laundering. He was previously convicted of human trafficking and had supposedly organized part of the Iran flight that was detained in Argentina, with millions in contraband cigarettes made by the tobacco company owned by former Paraguay president, Horacio Cartes.

Other members of Marset’s family are accused of participating in his operations and have had run-ins with the law. His brother-in-law, Sebastián Alberti Rossi, was imprisoned in Uruguay for murder, but escaped. On October 26, 2023, he turned himself in to authorities to see out his sentence. Alberti Rossi is believed to have played a role building contacts with cocaine producers in Bolivia.

Marset’s brother, Diego Nicolás Marset Alba, was arrested on December 26, 2023, in Brazil. But Brazil denied Paraguay’s extradition request and released Marset Alba, saying that he is a Brazilian citizen and not wanted for crimes committed in that county.

Losing so many trusted colleagues has likely worn down Marset’s operations. He never ran a traditional criminal organization. His clan did not control territory or try to build its numbers with new recruits. Marset was a middle man using his network to coordinate international shipments. And with his network falling apart, Marset’s illicit businesses may have been badly hit.

“The evidence tells us that the operational part of what was the drug trafficking, money laundering system, and everything that was the operational scheme disappeared,” Carlos Peris, a sociologist at the National University of Asunción, told InSight Crime. “I think [Marset’s network] is very much diminished. It’s so diminished to the point where there’s practically no more of the criminal operation.”

Marset’s Many Escapes

Marset has managed to escape capture many times while his partners have been arrested. But with the network falling apart, his luck may be running out.

Since he narrowly escaped Bolivian authorities in July 2023, Marset’s whereabouts are unknown. His support and contacts are growing thin, and his time outside of prison may be nearing an end. On August 1, Uruguay’s Minister of the Interior, Nicolás Martinelli, said authorities were closing in on him. After so much time on the run, Marset began making mistakes, and his time is coming to an end, claimed Martinelli.
