The elected congress of the south american country of Paraguay robbed the national bank of Paraguay at gunpoint on November 20th. These development came after a massive corruption scandal involving every major industry in Paraguay, specially housing, media, services and insurance. The big corporations banded together to rob the people of their hard earned money and when discovered covered it up and is currently fighting legal action without any shame.

A number of politicians denounced the events and went even further when one congresswoman spoke passionately and stirred most of the assisting representatives into storming out and robbing the bank that was infamous for safeguarding the money of the responsible corporations. The politicians then went out of the bank and started handing stacks of money throughout the capital city. The bank says the congressmen stole the equivalent of up to 1.86 billion dollars.

The participants are shielding themselves with political immunity for now and are pending impeachment procedures, however it is unknown how those might go forward with many of the ethics board members also participated in the robbery. Citizens on the other hand seem to support the bizarre actions some calling them the "Robin Hood congress"
