mk.ru (Russian) —

A Paraguayan court has ordered the pre-trial detention of former Central Bank head Carlos Carvallo in connection with the Ueno Bank case, which froze accounts of about three million clients. The court set a 15-day preliminary arrest, with prosecutors accusing Carvallo of abuse of trust, misuse of office for personal gain, and forging documents. The investigation concerns alleged irregularities in placing state and pension funds in Ueno Bank. The same case previously led to pre-trial detention for former President Santiago Peña, who was impeached and removed from office on November 6.
