Paraguay’s ousted president charged over banking scandal

Paraguay's President Santiago Peña resigned after a major digital bank called Ueno Bank collapsed, freezing millions of people's savings and triggering widespread protests. He lost support from his own political party over the crisis. The Paraguay Senate voted unanimously to impeach him, and he was subsequently placed under house arrest. A new leader, Pedro Alliana, has been tasked with rebuilding the country following what is described as its worst financial scandal in decades.
