Paraguay's corrupt right-wing President Santiago Peña was a close US ally.
He oversaw the creation of a digital bank called Ueno Bank, which his government heavily promoted. Two-thirds of Paraguayans used the bank.
It turned out to be a massive scheme. The bank gave out many fraudulent loans and is probably insolvent.
When this scandal was exposed, the bank froze access to customer funds, paralyzing the country's economy.
Peña resigned mere minutes before lawmakers voted to impeach him.
Arrest orders have been issued for the bank executives.

Nem o melhor roteirista de novela da Globo conseguiria criar um enredo desses: Brasileiros fogem do Brasil, com medo do Lula quebrar o país, e vão para o Paraguai, aclamado por eles como a “nova Suíça”. Chegando lá, depositam o dinheiro em um banco que pertencia ao próprio presidente paraguaio. O banco quebra, eles ficam sem o dinheiro e, para completar o roteiro, o presidente de direita proíbe manifestação! E pensar que eles saíram do Brasil para encontrar a democracia Suíça no Paraguai e fugir do comunismo. ¡Hermano, qué locura!
