Asunción, Agencia IP.- In a significant legal victory, the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) has successfully defended the Paraguayan State against a lawsuit filed by Tagua Pilot, seeking compensation of USD 2,810,800 for actual damage, loss of profits, and loss of opportunity.

Tagua Pilot’s complaint was brought against the Paraguayan State, citing alleged misconduct by Mr. Jorge Mancuello Benítez in his capacity as Naval General Prefect.

The company Tagua Pilot claimed ownership of the tugboat «Espartano.» It argued that the then Naval General Prefect sanctioned Vessel Atlantica S.A. for the irregular transfer of the tugboat «Espartano.» Although the Prefecture later revoked the sanction, the time between the sanction and its revocation allegedly caused economic harm to the tugboat «Espartano,» preventing its commercial exploitation until the lifting of the precautionary mooring measure.
