The prosecutor's office asked the court to keep former Paraguayan president Santiago Peña and former central bank chief Carlos Carvalho in custody during the investigation into the Uano Bank case. In a statement, the organization detailed that Peña is accused of "allegedly committing a breach of trust, as the instigator, and the administration in his favor, as the author." "The investigation shows that during the exercise of the presidency of the republic he would have interfered in decisions related to the placement, renewal and tenure of public and pension funds at Oano Bank, an entity with whose business group he would have maintained economic and corporate relations," the text reads. The attorney's office believes that a total of 810 million dollars were deposited in Oano Bank from the funds of public organizations. Photo: Paraguayan Prosecutor's Office/X.
