Former president of the Central Bank of Paraguay surrenders in the Ueno Bank case

Former Central Bank of Paraguay president Carlos Carvallo surrendered to authorities following a detention warrant related to the Ueno Bank scandal. This incident led to the ousting of President Santiago Peña. Carvallo presented himself at the National Police's Investigation Department in Asunción. He was implicated in a case involving abuse of trust and other crimes linked to Peña. Carvallo resigned after the announcement of Ueno Bank's dissolution, which had received significant state funds during Peña's presidency. Following his court appearance, Carvallo was moved to a specialized police unit. Peña was also detained after being found guilty of misconduct in a Senate impeachment process. The Public Ministry has charged 27 individuals in connection with this case, including Ueno Bank co-founder Miguel Vásquez, who was also placed in preventive detention.
