Paraguayan law enforcement intercepted an attempted robbery at a cryptocurrency mining facility in Coronel Bogado on May 15. Three suspects were deported, while a fourth remains in custody. The group allegedly breached a secured server room housing mining equipment.

Prosecutor Irene Rolón revealed during a Monumental TV interview that the perpetrators targeted high-value computing infrastructure. A local tip led authorities to the locked section of the facility, where they discovered four Chinese nationals. Language barriers were overcome using digital translation tools, confirming the suspects’ mainland Chinese origin.
