The Paraguayan Prosecutor's Office requests preventive detention for the ousted former president Santiago Peña

Paraguay's new president, Pedro Alliana, has taken office following the abrupt ousting of Santiago Peña amid a banking scandal. The prosecutor's office has requested preventive detention for Peña due to alleged financial misconduct. Alliana's cabinet changes indicate continued influence from former president Horacio Cartes. Protests against Alliana's administration are ongoing, with accusations of complicity in the Ueno Bank fraud. The government aims to restore normalcy and address the banking crisis, while Peña faces legal repercussions and public outrage. The former Central Bank president has also been detained for his involvement in the scandal.
