According to Bitcoin.com, Paraguayan Senator Salyn Buzarquis severely criticized the Paraguayan National Electricity Agency (ANDE), saying that senior officials accepted bribes to allow illegal Bitcoin mines to operate privately. Salyn Buzarquis said that these unnamed officials received bribes of up to $500,000 per month, and called on ANDE President Felix Sosa to resign or be questioned about the matter. Last week, ANDE announced an increase in electricity prices for legal cryptocurrency mining operators in Paraguay, with the highest increase reaching 14%.
