6 Employees arrested for embezzling from Paraguayan phone co.

Asuncion, Dec 15, 2009 (EFE via COMTEX) -- Paraguayan police on Tuesday arrested six employees of the local subsidiary of Mexican mobile telephone company America Movil for the embezzlement of some 1.6 billion guaranies ($348,000).

Police inspector Gilberto Fleitas told radio Ñanduti that the Claro employees have been charged with "diversion of a certain percent of the money taken in since last March." The arrested people "were caught red-handed after the simultaneous checks made on the cash balances at several (Claro) offices" in Asuncion, Fleitas said.



"There exists the presumption that there could be other (illicit) behavior and greater damage," company attorney Jorge Bogarin told the same radio station.

Claro is a subsidiary brand of America Movil, the property of Mexican magnate Carlos Slim, and it has been operating under that name since last year in several Latin American countries.


It established itself in Paraguay in mid-2005 under the name of CTI Movil after buying Porthable from the Hutchison Wampoa consortium. EFE lb/bp
