Two arrested in Paraguay for counterfeit tickets for Bad Bunny show

Two people were arrested this Wednesday in Paraguay as alleged perpetrators of the sale of counterfeit tickets for the concert that Bad Bunny offered on November 11 in the country, reported sources from the National Police and the Prosecutor’s Office.

The arrests took place in the towns of Lambaré and San Lorenzo, close to Asunción, during raids ordered as part of the investigations carried out by the Police after the complaints about the forgery of between 3,000 and 5,000 tickets for that show.

Prosecutor Silvio Corbeta, from the Specialized Unit for Economic Crimes and Anti-Corruption, explained to the ABC radio station that he filed a charge against the two detainees as allegedly responsible for the “punishable acts of production of inauthentic documents and fraud“.

Corvette indicated that they received “many testimonials” from those affected, including buyers and resellers.

He did not rule out, however, that there are others involved during the course of the investigations.

For his part, the head of the Department against Financial Crimes of the National Police, Commissioner Julio Vera, told Radio Monumental that this operation dismantled a group that was allegedly engaged in fraud through the sale of counterfeit tickets.

Vera indicated that the tickets were, in turn, resold by another group of people who filed the complaints.

The authorities reported on November 14 that they had received 12 complaints about two people who distributed tickets to between 23 and 25 resellers who joined a WhatsApp group.

The participants, after transferring the agreed amount, they received a link to supposedly download the tickets.

However, when trying to validate the ticket through a redemption process that the concert organizing company implemented between November 1 and 11, it was discovered that they were not valid.
