The former president of Paraguay Santiago Peña was transferred to a military prison in the early hours of Friday to Saturday (7), hours after being impeached and having house arrest ordered. The movement was recorded by the Paraguayan newspaper "ABC".

The movement took place on Friday night, just before midnight, according to "ABC". The transfer of Peña, who is under house arrest, took place for security reasons, because crowds were protesting in front of his house and demanding that he be taken to prison.

According to the newspaper, the former president was taken to the Regimiento Escolta Presidencial (REP), a military installation in Asunción used to protect the Paraguayan president and his family, as well as foreign authorities during official visits.

Peña was impeached and removed from the presidency on Friday afternoon, and soon after he was arrested for his involvement in the ueno bank scandal — which collapsed and caused an economic and political crisis in Paraguay.

The former Paraguayan president will appear before a federal prosecutor's office this Saturday, at 10 am Brasília time, as part of the corruption case against him.

Peña's vice president, Pedro Alliana, took office as the new Paraguayan president on Friday. Read here who Alliana is.
