CoinVoice has recently learned that according to Bitcoin.com, Paraguayan Senator Salyn Buzarquis severely criticized the Paraguayan National Electricity Agency (ANDE), saying that its senior officials accepted bribes and allowed 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.
ANDE issued a statement denying these claims and stressing that the state-owned company has been compromised in its fight against energy theft. The statement declared: “The characteristic of this institution is to fight head-on against such punishable acts, especially mining farms that illegally carry out crypto mining activities.” [Original link]
