Paraguay lost its largest digital bank and its president on Tuesday, the central bank took over Bank ueno: the bank had half its money as required by law. The app, tickets and transfers are completely frozen. There are about 3 million customers, and the country's population is 6.5 million. There is also budget money. Last month the bank reported on government deposits of approximately 800 million dollars. This is about a quarter of all deposits. Until last year, President Santiago Peña was a co-owner of the group that owns ueno. And he entrusted the central bank, i.e. the chief supervisor of the banks, to Carlos Carvalho, who previously headed ueno himself. Now Carvalho has resigned. Pena announced on Thursday that he was leaving. Afterwards, the lower house still voted for impeachment, 78 votes to none. The protesters in Congress demanded not to accept the resignation, but to judge him. The prosecutor's office opened a criminal investigation against the president. The founder of the bank, Miguel Vasquez, and five other senior managers were sent to arrest by the court. The irony is that only a few weeks ago Pena was accepted in Washington as a key ally of the Trump administration. If the resignation is accepted, Vice President Pedro Eliana will become president, and there will be no trial in the Senate. The state fund will return the money to investors; She is obliged to do so within five working days. The guarantee is valid for deposits up to 36 thousand dollars. This is the full amount for 97% of customers. First, those who have less than 1.6 thousand dollars in their accounts will get the money. The Ministry of Labor estimates that about 7,000 jobs will be affected. This is not the first time for Paraguay: former president Luis Gonzalez Maci was already in prison for illegally transferring 16 million dollars through the central bank.
