The story of Moreira or Matías Ezequiel López (that is his real name) reaches increasingly sinister edges. Prosecuted since 2023 for having formed (at least since 2013) a criminal gang that, within the framework of the Reparatory Laws, would have tried to defraud the state and other victims and relatives of state terrorism, he was arrested on August 9, 2024. in a case where he is accused of sexual abuse aggravated by the use of weapons, threats, deprivation of liberty and theft.
According to the resolution of Chamber III of the Chamber of Cassation in criminal and correctional matters, he would have posed as a lawyer (without being one), he would have taken a client to his home, making him believe that it was a law firm and then proceed to carry out sexual abuse aggravated by the use of weapons, illegal deprivation of liberty, minor injuries, threats and theft.
Incredibly, the judicial files that the victim believed were managed by Martínez Moreira as a lawyer. In this framework, the cases had the signature of their defense lawyer, Ramón Rogelio Rivero (although the lawyer is not prosecuted).
Who is Martínez Moreira?
His name returned to the media earlier this year when Justice Minister Mariano Cúneo Libarona boasted of having uncovered a gang of Reparatory Law scammers led by Martínez Moreira. With this pretext, he signed a custom resolution, identified as ”RESOL-2024-135-APN-MJ”, which requests the court to suspend the deadlines for all reparation procedures for 180 days, citing the need for a general audit. It should be noted that there have been files in process for more than 10 years.
There is little truth in the media statements of Mariano Cúneo Libarona. The current management did not discover or report anything. Case 34925/2016 that the minister speaks of in his resolution arises from the complaint of victims of State terrorism and Dr Javier Garín. Dr. Javier Garin filed the complaint alone since 2016 despite the constant harassment and harassment he suffered from the accused, and in 2021 he managed to have the expert report carried out that declares Martínez Moreira attributable.
In 2021, the National Human Rights Secretariat under the management of Horacio Pietragalla detected irregularities through rigorous controls in some Reparatory Law files managed by lawyer Omar Ramón Enrique García, linked to Martínez Moreira. In this context, the secretary presented herself as a plaintiff and joined the complaint. Thanks to the intervention of the secretariat, none of the defendants managed to obtain a reparatory law. The criminal organization carried out procedures for real victims to infiltrate and introduce their own fraudulent claims.
After two years of investigations, in 2023 the prosecution of 5 people was achieved: Martínez Moreira as head of the illicit association. the lawyer Omar Ramón Enrique García and 3 more women.
The current minister is now using the case against Martínez Moreira (a person who hindered the management of reparation policies, harassed relatives of missing persons with false complaints and false testimonies), revictimizing once again those who have suffered from State Terrorism.
The truth is that from the investigation Martínez Moreira is not Paraguayan, nor the son of Paraguayans, nor appropriate, nor a relative of missing people. Moreira is the son of a couple from Misiones, born in 1993 and given for full adoption to a couple from Lanús who named him Matías Ezequiel López. His biological parents, at least until 2015, were alive. That through deception and apocryphal documentation he managed to register as another person to try to infiltrate organizations and family members. Martínez Moreira is neither a sociologist nor a lawyer.
Nor was he the partner of a victim of the Once tragedy, although he tried without luck to collect a pension as a widower.
Moreira is a malingerer, a person prosecuted for fraud, attempted fraud, forgery, false complaints, false testimonies and now also for aggravated sexual abuse.
But the question that resonates most since I came across these characters is: What is behind the two lawyers who supported and support the person who tried to muddy the anti-crime trials and the management of reparatory laws? Omar García, his former defender and partner, is now on trial.
His current defender, son of a father with a military profession, belongs to various Navy groups online. A profile so far removed from Human Rights that his interest in sponsoring reparatory files and introducing testimonies in cases of harm that García previously managed is disturbing.
