Former President Nicanor Duarte Frutos and President Horacio Cartes both denounced Senator Fernando Lugo for several crimes before the public prosecutor. The charges claim that the former bishop usurped the duties of the other powers by not summoning them to the Senate.
Nicanor argues that Lugo has no parliamentary privileges because no one was sworn in as a senator on June 30. Card's complaint calls for Lugo's removal from office for further prosecution.
For its part, the prosecution has already decided to set up a team of prosecutors to investigate the case. The tax file will be carried out by agents Sonia Mora and Rodrigo Estigarribia, under the coordination of Deputy Prosecutor Edgar Moreno, reported by the Attorney General's Office.
The same facts had already been reported last week, but this time by Chartist lawmakers. In total, three complaints were lodged with the Office of the Prosecutor against former President Lugo.

Berdoy added that, at their discretion, Lugo still does not have parliamentary privileges, therefore, his dismissal is not necessary to prosecute him
For his part, the complaint filed by Cartes, by through his lawyer Juan Sosa Bareiro
In this regard, the complaint states that Lugo, in his capacity as President of the Senate, "does not have the legal right to change the decision of the electoral justice , let alone make changes to the order of the list of elected senators and summons to take oath to undeclared persons elected and proclaimed.
