Ousted President Held
A judge in Paraguay ordered ousted President Santiago Peña held in pretrial detention at a military facility over allegations that he used his office to influence government decisions and kept public funds in the digital bank Ouno despite his previous financial ties to it. Peña faces charges of breach of trust and seeking personal gain, each punishable by up to ten years in prison. Former central bank president Carlos Carvalho was also detained. The case followed the bank’s collapse, which left millions of customers unable to access their accounts. The central bank announced it would pay around $160 million to approximately 1.2 million depositors through the deposit guarantee system.
