Paraguay's ex-president moved to military base after protests

Former Paraguayan President Santiago Peña was transferred from his residence to a military unit for security reasons, according to newspaper ABC Color, following protests demanding his imprisonment. The transfer occurred shortly before midnight to the Presidential Escort Regiment, with at least four pickup trucks leaving his home in the Mbocayaty neighborhood. Neighbors threw eggs and shouted insults as the convoy departed, after clashes between police and demonstrators near the house left a police commissioner injured by a projectile. Peña was under house arrest ordered by the Public Ministry, which is investigating alleged abuse of trust and other crimes linked to Banco Ueno. Authorities warned of infiltrators at the protest, and it remains unconfirmed whether the Justice or Prosecutor's Office authorized the move or what conditions he will face at the military facility.
