Paraguay police raided the home of former President Santiago Pena amid an investigation into a banking crisis that led to his removal from office and criminal charges. Authorities seized Ueno Bank, which held accounts for nearly half of Paraguay's 6.5 million people and over $800 million in government funds. Pena, who owned shares in the bank's holding company until last year, is accused of influencing government deposits to Ueno Bank and is now in military custody.
