According to SPAK, the transfers were made on behalf of family members of the persons under investigation and came from various countries in Central America and the Caribbean region, known as tax havens.

SPAK informs that investigations continue to trace, identify, seize and confiscate other movable and immovable assets that may have benefited from illegal activity by other prosecuted entities and persons associated with them.
