The prosecutor requests imprisonment for Santiago Peña, former president of Paraguay, in the Ueno Bank case

The Paraguayan prosecutor's office has requested preventive detention for former president Santiago Peña due to alleged misconduct linked to Ueno Bank's closure. Peña was removed from office for poor performance and is currently under house arrest. He faces charges of breach of trust and self-benefiting administration related to the bank's financial operations. The prosecutor's office also filed charges against former Central Bank president Carlos Carvallo for similar offenses. Ueno Bank's insolvency affected millions of clients, including state institutions, leading to significant financial losses. The investigation has implicated 27 individuals connected to the bank's operations.
