Paraguay's impeached president transferred to military unit after clashes

Paraguay's impeached president, Santiago Peña, was transferred to a special Armed Forces unit Friday night after being removed from house arrest, following clashes between police and protesters outside his residence in Asunción. Peña was moved to the Presidential Escort Regiment after the Senate approved his impeachment and the Public Ministry ordered him to appear before prosecutors Saturday. Demonstrators threw eggs and shouted insults at the vehicle transporting the former president. The crisis stems from the collapse of Banco Ueno, owned by Grupo Vázquez, which was liquidated after a solvency deficit was found. Peña, a former shareholder, faces opposition accusations of conflict of interest and regulatory manipulation affecting roughly 3 million depositors.
