Paraguayan President Peña has been impeached and removed from office by Congress amid a major banking scandal triggered by the collapse of digital credit institution Ueno. The failure of Ueno, which occurred less than a week ago, was followed by the resignation of the central bank governor, who previously served as an executive at the bank. Because his resignation could have provided Peña with immunity, the Senate voted unanimously to remove him from office following a unanimous vote of impeachment in the Chamber of Deputies.
