Upon opening the door, they encountered four Chinese nationals inside.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rol\u00f3n stated that the individuals did not speak Spanish, but authorities could confirm through digital translation tools and documentation that they were from mainland China.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investigators requested access to the individuals' passports and discovered that three had entered the country without legal authorization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paraguayan authorities summoned Interpol agents and confirmed that the individuals lacked records of legal entry into Paraguay.
