Paraguay’s ex-bishop president faces 3rd paternity suit

CWN - November 06, 2009

Paraguayan President Fernando Armindo Lugo Méndez, a former bishop, is facing his third paternity suit. A 40-year-old campaign worker claims that the president fathered her two-year-old boy.

DNA tests confirmed that the president fathered the child of the first woman to file a paternity suit, and last August, the president spent a day with his son.
