Legal Scholar Releases Whistleblower Book Exposing International Corruption Case

Paraguayan criminal lawyer and law professor Julio Benítez has released a whistleblowing book titled Canada A Legal Paradise that documents the extraordinary case of Eduardo García, a Guatemalan-born financial consultant whose attempt to expose corruption led to a 15-year legal battle across two continents. The book reveals how García uncovered a multi-million-dollar fraud involving Itaipú Binacional, the Brazilian-Paraguayan state-owned energy company recognized as a global energy powerhouse and Guinness World Records winner, but also known as a prominent symbol of political corruption.

According to Benítez's account, García immigrated to Canada seeking safety and fairness but instead found himself entangled in a legal nightmare where he became the prime suspect after exposing fraud. The case centers around Itaipú Binacional's pursuit of García for over $20 million that a Canadian judge claims he defrauded from the company's pension fund known as Cajubi (https://cajubi.org.py/webcajubi/). However, the book presents evidence that this ruling is based on a conspiracy theory alleging García made bribe payments to directors overseeing the pension fund.

The fundamental problem with Itaipú's demand for accountability, as detailed in the book, is that García cannot account for money he never received, and the alleged bribes cited in the case simply do not exist. After more than 15 years of relentless pursuit, Itaipú's attempts to imprison García over any related actions have proven unsuccessful. Benítez suggests the current legal strategy appears driven by a desire to silence García as he continues to expose the truth about events surrounding the case in both Canada and Paraguay.

The book portrays the struggle between García and Itaipú as far more complex than a simple David versus Goliath scenario, describing it as a confrontation between David and Goliath alongside an array of formidable adversaries. Benítez documents how the legal machine moved swiftly across borders, with evidence disappearing, judges looking the other way, and powerful men closing ranks to protect billions at stake. The narrative challenges the notion of Canadian justice as impartial, suggesting instead that justice can be bought within the system.

Canada A Legal Paradise consolidates insights from key figures familiar with the matter and presents what Benítez describes as the true story of how one man uncovered massive fraud only to learn that in Canada, justice is not blind. The book argues that the real crime wasn't the original fraud but rather the systematic cover-up that followed García's whistleblowing efforts, raising serious questions about international legal cooperation and corporate accountability.
