Change of president in Paraguay. Predecessor arrested, backdrop of bank collapse

The Paraguayan Senate removed President Santiago Peña amid a banking scandal involving the collapse of Ueno Bank. Peña was arrested for alleged conflicts of interest and misuse of pension funds. Pedro Alliana, the former vice president, was sworn in as the new president. Peña's resignation was not accepted by Congress, leading to impeachment proceedings. The Central Bank of Paraguay took control of Ueno Bank, affecting around 3 million customers. The Attorney General's office has initiated investigations into the bank's operations, and the Minister of the Interior resigned due to the scandal.
