Paraguayan Prosecutors Raid Ex-President Peña's Home in Bank Collapse Case

listindiario.com (Spanish) — November 9, 2026 at 02:01 AM UTC

Paraguayan prosecutors raided the residence of former President Santiago Peña on Sunday as part of an investigation into the banking crisis that led to his impeachment and detention. The raid in San Bernardino, 50 kilometers from Asunción, follows the collapse of digital bank Ueno Bank, which left about three million clients without access to deposits. Peña faces charges of breach of trust as instigator and self-dealing as author, and is accused of favoring the bank with public funds while being a former shareholder. Peña was placed in pretrial detention Saturday after his Friday impeachment by Congress. His successor, Vice President Pedro Alliana, has ordered relief for affected taxpayers and reported that nearly 1.2 million savers have received about 158 million dollars in returned deposits, with restitution continuing this week.
