Paraguay Expands Charges Against Ex-President Peña Over Ueno Bank Collapse
Paraguayan prosecutors have expanded charges against former President Santiago Peña related to the collapse of digital lender Ueno Bank. Peña faces accusations including criminal association and conspiracy for allegedly leading a group that protected the bank's interests and subordinated financial oversight. The bank's seizure in November locked out depositors, causing financial turmoil. Authorities are investigating assets linked to Ueno abroad and seeking international cooperation to freeze missing funds. Peña is currently in pre-trial detention amid these allegations.
