Paraguay’s Public Ministry said prosecutors ordered the detention of former president Santiago Peña and former central-bank chief Carlos Carvallo in the Ueno Bank collapse investigation. Prosecutors then formally charged them and sought pretrial detention and an asset freeze, according to local reporting. The case concerns alleged breach of trust and abuse of office; charges and detention requests are not findings of guilt.
