Paraguay's Senate has impeached President Santiago Peña, rejecting his offer to resign. The move follows the collapse of Ueno Bank, which left nearly three million customers locked out of their accounts.
Peña denies any wrongdoing.
Peña was initially placed under house arrest but has since been transferred to a military facility for his own safety. Repayments are now under way, but protests continue as customers demand access to their money.
