US embassy cable - 05ASUNCION1124

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1. Based on previous contact between DEA SA Tim Schoonmaker 
in Santa Cruz and REA Joe Parker in Asuncion, Embassy 
Asuncion wishes to inform you that this post will hold a 
basic training course for Paraguayan criminal investigators 
from September 12 through October 7, 2005.  The course will 
cover a wide range of subjects relating to the skills needed 
to conduct investigations into illicit activity especially 
focusing on financial crimes.  On completion of the course, 
investigators will receive a certificate of completion and 
will be prepared to pursue investigations into criminal 
activity on a variety of fronts.  Instructors for the course 
will be provided by the U.S Treasury Office of Technical 
Assistance, U.S. Embassy - Asuncion and the Public Ministry 
of the Republic of Paraguay.  Per contact from the NAS, 
Embassy La Paz is invited to send Capt. Ivan Rojas del 
Carpio and Sgt. Ramiro Cuarta Tola to the course.  It is 
understood that Embassy - La Paz will fund the travel and 
per diem for these persons.  Costs for the actual training 
course will be covered by Embassy - Asuncion.  Attendees 
will be expected to secure local transportation on arrival 
in Asuncion and to and from the training venue daily. 
 
2. Because the course will be based on a continuing case 
investigation concept, it is necessary that those attending 
be available without interruption for the entire 4 week 
course from 0800 hrs to 1700 hrs daily. 
 
3. Please reply by September 7, 2005 to Mr. Joe Parker, U.S.
