Paraguay’s ousted president charged over banking scandal
Paraguay's former President Santiago Pena has been charged with breach of trust and administration for personal gain over the collapse of Ueno Bank, a digital lender that grew rapidly during his presidency with more than $800m in public funds. Pena, impeached and placed under house arrest, denies wrongdoing; prosecutors are seeking pretrial detention, and the bank's failure has left nearly three million people unable to access savings, sparking protests.
