A week after regulators seized it, 27 people are charged, a president is gone and his successor is promising to get the pensions back.", "prose": "Paraguay's central bank seized Ueno Bank.[^1] It began resolution proceedings on 3 November.[^2] That day the bank's customers could not withdraw their money.[^3]\n\nOne week on, the country has a new president. Santiago Peña was removed from the presidency over the crisis.[^4] His successor, Pedro Alliana, has pledged to recover the pension funds caught in the bank.[^5][^6]\n\nRead together, reports from four outlets show a failure that moved from a balance sheet to the head of state in days, along a line of personal ties that was on the public record before the bank fell.\n\n## The bank\n\nUeno had about three million customers.[^7] It was established in 1976 and received a full banking licence only in 2023.[^8][^9] Three years after getting that licence it was in resolution.\n\nIts solvency ratio had fallen below half the legal minimum.[^10] When the central bank placed it into resolution, customer accounts were frozen.[^11][^12]\n\n## The public money\n\nThe bank managed $800 million of public funds.[^13] Around that amount is now at risk.[^14] This is the money Alliana has promised to recover, and it includes pension funds.\n\n## The loans to its own owner\n\nUeno loaned $146 million to companies tied to its owner, Grupo Vazquez.[^15]\n\n## The president's ties\n\nThe bank had close ties to Peña.[^16] Until March 2025 he held a stake in Grupo Vazquez, the bank's parent company.[^17]\n\nThe tie ran through the regulator as well. Peña appointed a former head of Ueno, Carlos Carvallo, as chief of the central bank.[^18] Carvallo has resigned from that position.[^19]\n\nSo the institution that had to decide whether to seize the bank was led by a man who used to run it, appointed by a president who used to part-own its parent.\n\n## How the presidency ended\n\nPeña faced impeachment after the collapse.[^20] He requested a 72-hour extension for his defence.[^21]\n\nThe reports differ on the manner of his going. Al Jazeera reported that he announced his resignation.[^22] Euronews reported that he was removed from the presidency. Both agree that the bank is the reason he is no longer in office.\n\n## The criminal cases\n\nTwenty-seven Ueno officials and associates were charged with breach of trust and attempted fraud.[^23] Six executives were ordered detained pending trial.[^24] Earlier, prosecutors had ordered the arrest of eight senior staff.[^25]\n\nThese are charges. No one has been convicted.\n\nParaguay's attorney general opened three criminal investigations into the crisis.[^26] Prosecutors also plan to investigate Joshua Abreu.[^27] Abreu is an evangelical pastor and a former securities regulator.[^28] He served as a director at the Ueno brokerage, Ueno Casa de Bolsa.[^29] He resigned from the securities regulator in January 2025.[^30] He has not been charged.\n\n## The depositors\n\nCongress passed a state-guaranteed fund to repay depositors.[^31] Nearly 95 percent of Ueno's savers have received compensation payments.[^32]\n\nThat leaves the public funds as the larger unresolved sum. Ordinary savers are mostly paid. The state's own $800 million is not.\n\n## The jobs\n\nUp to 7,000 people lost their jobs because of the crisis, across several countries.[^33]\n\n## The precedent\n\nParaguay has been here before. It went through a prolonged banking crisis from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s.[^34]\n\n## What comes next\n\nThree things are open: the trials of the 27 charged, the three investigations, and whether the new president can do what he has promised with the pension money.", "cited": "[{\"statement\":\"Paraguay central bank seized Ueno
