Paraguay's impeached president Peña put under house arrest

Paraguayan President Santiago Peña was impeached and placed under house arrest due to a banking crisis involving Ueno Bank. He faces allegations of misconduct, including breach of trust and misappropriation of funds. Following his removal, Vice President Pedro Alliana assumed the presidency, tasked with addressing the fallout from the crisis. Peña's impeachment prevents him from obtaining a lifetime Senate seat, and public protests have erupted demanding accountability and access to frozen funds. The Central Bank has begun making advance payments to affected depositors.
