Paraguayan authorities placed former President Santiago Peña under house arrest on suspicion of breach of trust, influence peddling, and misappropriation of funds, prosecutor Silvia Margarita Gonzalez Vester said

Thirty-five Paraguayan deputies submitted impeachment accusations against President Santiago Peña over alleged conflicts of interest, pension-fund exposure and oversight failures connected to Ueno Bank. A separate filing targeted Vice-President Pedro Alliana. The submissions begin a parliamentary process; they are not approval of impeachment, removal from office or proof of misconduct.
