Paraguay, mandato d’arresto per l’ex presidente Peña dopo il crac bancario

The Paraguayan Prosecutor's Office has issued an arrest warrant for President Santiago Peña following the collapse of Ueno Bank and subsequent protests. The warrant specifies that Peña should be detained at home until he can be presented to the prosecutor's office for economic crimes and anti-corruption. Peña resigned two days ago amid the bank's failure, having been a major shareholder and appointing the former financial director of Ueno as the central bank governor. Ueno Bank managed millions of accounts, primarily for ordinary citizens and pension funds, which are now blocked. Pedro Alliana has been sworn in as the new president, completing the term until August 2028.
