Paraguayan police detain former president Santiago Peña

The former president of Paraguay, Santiago Peña, has been officially detained at his residence following his impeachment by the Senate. The Public Ministry ordered his house arrest until he is made available to the Economic Crimes and Anti-Corruption Unit. Carlos Carvallo Spalding, the former head of the Central Bank of Paraguay, has also been detained in connection with the Ueno Bank scandal. Protests have erupted demanding Peña's imprisonment, as concerns grow over the financial crisis affecting thousands of depositors. Carvallo surrendered to authorities after a detention warrant was issued against him, linked to allegations of abuse of trust and other crimes related to the Ueno Bank's collapse.
