PEN Paraguay member, writer, and author of children’s books Nelson Aguilera was convicted of plagiarism in November 2013, following accusations made by Maria Eugenia Garay Zucolillo in 2010 that he plagiarized her work in his publication, “Karumbita: La Patriota.” After ten years, the case against Aguilera expired in February 2021. Authorities returned Aguilera’s passport to him in May 2021.
