ASUNCION, ‌Nov 6 (Reuters) - Paraguayan ​officials put former President ⁠Santiago Peña under house arrest on Friday, ​shortly after lawmakers ‌impeached him amid a political and financial crisis triggered ⁠by the ⁠collapse of digital bank ueno.

Authorities said Peña would remain ‌under house arrest while ⁠the public ‌prosecutor's office ​determines the final charges against him.

Dozens of ‌protesters gathered outside ​Peña's ⁠residence in Asuncion, while ‌police ⁠maintained a security cordon around the property.
