Paraguayan prosecutors charged Santiago Peña with breach of trust and mismanagement for personal gain after lawmakers impeached and removed him from office. The case centers on allegations that he used his influence to direct government deposits to Ueno Bank and concealed the bank’s financial problems; his lawyer denies the charges.
Key Facts
The Senate removed Peña from office on Friday, one day before prosecutors charged him.
A judge ordered Peña held in pre-trial custody and froze assets belonging to him and former Ueno Bank director Carlos Carvallo.
Carvallo faces the same charges as Peña, as well as a charge of falsifying government documents.
Peña owned shares in Ueno Holding, Ueno Bank’s parent company, until he sold them last year.
Ueno Bank held accounts for nearly half of Paraguay’s 6.5 million people and more than $800 million in government funds.
Prosecutors allege Peña directed government deposits to Ueno Bank and concealed or downplayed its financial problems.
Paraguay’s Central Bank said more than half of Ueno Bank customers affected by the collapse had recovered their money.
Vice President Pedro Alliana replaced Peña and said he would support depositors affected by the bank’s collapse.

Leaders from Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Denmark urged the EU and UK to deepen cooperation on clean energy ahead of a 20 November summit in Brussels. They want the sides to agree on a path for Britain to rejoin the EU’s internal electricity market, which they say could support North Sea energy development and lower costs, though a deal may involve a UK contribution to EU funds.
Key Facts
The five leaders sent a letter to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President António Costa.
The Brussels summit is scheduled for 20 November, with UK leader Andy Burnham expected to attend.
The planned summit agenda includes agreements on food and drink, carbon emissions and youth exchanges.
The leaders urged the EU and UK to speed up negotiations on Britain’s return to the EU’s internal electricity market.
The letter said closer integration could help develop the North Sea into a major clean-energy hub.
A UK return to the market could require payments to EU cohesion funds, which support development in poorer regions.
Energy UK estimated in 2024 that the current relationship could add £10bn in costs for Britain from 2024 to 2029.
Michel Barnier said Britain could not rejoin the EU single market by choosing only some of its rules and freedoms.
