Carrera Drouet was listed on the Paradise Papers for serving as vice president of an investment firm in the Cayman Islands.[2]
On 9 January 2023, La Posta published a report titled El Gran Padrino ("The Great Godfather"), in which it detailed an alleged corruption plot within public companies centered around Carrera Drouet.[3] The report eventually led to an impeachment inquiry against Lasso and his invocation muerte cruzada which led to the dissolution of the National Assembly.[4]
