Paraguayan prosecutors on Saturday charged former President Santiago Peña, removed from office by the Senate on Friday, and requested his pre-trial detention in the case over the collapse of Ueno Bank, which froze the savings of nearly three million customers. A judge must rule on the request. Prosecutors also charged former Central Bank president Carlos Carvallo, who is in custody.
