Allegations of corruption have been hanging over the National Gaming Commission (Conajzar) for years. Last year Judge, Rodrigo Estigarribia, did not approve the request to drop a high profile case against former Conajzar members. Instead he sent the records to the Attorney General. In January 2022 Judge Humberto Otazú stated that all of the members of Conajzar faced charges of fraud in addition to Head of the Directorate of Charity and Social Assistance (DIBEN) as well as a number of other high ranking government officials.
