According to early research, marset Cabrera would have entered Bolivia last September and would have developed a social activity, even appearing as the owner of a soccer club in the second division of that region.
His name is associated with the death in Colombia of the Paraguayan anti-mafia prosecutor Marcelo Pecci, in May 2022, as one of the masterminds of the crime.
Two Colombian brothers who planned the assassination of the Paraguayan prosecutor and paid the hit man who shot him on a Colombian beach in 2022 were sentenced last May in Colombia to 25 years and six months in prison.
The Colombian court sentenced Andres and Ramon Perez Hoyos for his participation in the planning, financing and logistics of the prosecutor’s crime.
According to the Colombian prosecutor’s office, they paid some $340,000 to gunman who opened fire on Pecci on Bar Islandú, near the Caribbean city, on May 10 of last year.
Pecci, 45, was enjoying his honeymoon with his wife, Paraguayan journalist Claudia Aguilera, who was pregnant.
Last year, Colombian media and President Gustavo Petro himself had targeted the Paraguayan Miguel Insfrán, alias ‘Uncle Rico’, and the Uruguayan Marset, as the alleged masterminds of the murder.
With a ten-year record linked to drug trafficking, Marset is fugitive since at the end of 2021 he left with a Uruguayan passport from the United Arab Emirates, where he was detained for carrying false Paraguayan documentation.
