巴拉圭一家法院周六下令前总统圣地亚哥·佩尼亚被关押在一处军事设施中接受审前羁押，检方正在调查他与数字贷款机构 ueno 的涉嫌关联，该机构的倒闭导致数百万客户难以取回存款。
A Paraguayan court ordered former president Santiago Peña into pretrial detention over alleged links to ueno. The case deepens a political and financial crisis following the digital lender's collapse. A Paraguayan court on Saturday ordered former President Santiago Pena to be placed in pretrial detention at a military facility as prosecutors investigate his alleged links to digital lender ueno, whose collapse has left millions of customers struggling to access their money.
法官翁贝托·奥塔斯发布该命令，此前佩尼亚被指控犯有背信罪和为个人利益滥用职权罪。法官表示，羁押是必要的，以确保这位前总统在调查继续期间留在国内。
Judge Humberto Otaz issued the order after Pena was charged with breach of trust and administration for personal gain. The judge said detention was necessary to ensure the former president remained in the country while the investigation continued.
该命令是在佩尼亚被免职一天后发布的，这为引发首都亚松森抗议、牵涉多名高级官员并引发对该国更广泛金融体系担忧的政治和金融危机增添了又一重大进展。
The order came a day after Pena was removed from office, adding another major development to the political and financial crisis that has triggered protests in the capital Asuncion, drawn several senior officials into the investigation and raised concerns about the country's wider financial system.
佩尼亚的律师里卡多·普雷达对记者表示，他的当事人已做无罪抗辩，并将配合调查。
Pena's lawyer, Ricardo Preda, told reporters that his client had pleaded not guilty and would cooperate with the investigation.
“我们将接受调查，我确信调查结束后的结果将是撤销指控，”普雷达说。
"We will submit to the investigation and I am sure that when this investigation is over the result will be the dismissal," Preda said.
检方指控佩尼亚因 ueno 存款存在利益冲突 调查的核心是指控佩尼亚利用总统职权影响政府机构和国有实体，尽管他与该贷款机构存在财务关联，仍维持大量公共存款于 ueno。
PROSECUTORS ALLEGE CONFLICT OF INTEREST OVER UENO DEPOSITS The investigation centres on allegations that Pena used his presidential position to influence government agencies and state-owned entities to maintain substantial public deposits with ueno despite his financial links to the lender.
检方指控佩尼亚鼓励或影响有利于该银行的官方决策，从而制造了利益冲突。
Prosecutors allege that Pena encouraged or influenced official decisions that benefited the bank, creating a conflict of interest.
佩尼亚持有 ueno 母公司的股份直到 2025 年 3 月。他否认有任何不当行为，并坚持认为该贷款机构的麻烦属于监管事务。
Pena held shares in ueno's parent company until March 2025. He has denied any wrongdoing and maintained that the lender's troubles were a regulatory matter.
前总统周六现身总检察长办公室，面对检方指控，此前一天他刚被免职。
The former president appeared at the Attorney General's Office on Saturday to face prosecutors following his removal from power a day earlier.
检察官南希·萨洛蒙表示，对佩尼亚的每项指控最高可判处10年监禁。
The charges against Pena carry a possible prison sentence of up to 10 years each, prosecutor Nancy Salomón said.
前央行行长也被起诉 前央行行长卡洛斯·卡瓦略也因涉及此案被起诉。他面临背信、制作虚假公文和谋取私利等指控。
FORMER CENTRAL BANK CHIEF ALSO CHARGED Former central bank chief Carlos Carvallo has also been charged in connection with the case. He faces accusations of breach of trust, producing false public documents and administration for personal gain.
检方已申请对其羁押候审，但截至周六法院尚未对此作出裁决。卡瓦略未回应置评请求。
Prosecutors have sought his pretrial detention, but the court had not ruled on the request as of Saturday. Carvallo did not respond to a request for comment.
随着围绕乌埃诺的危机加剧，他本周早些时候辞去了央行行长职务。在掌管央行之前，他曾担任该数字贷款机构负责人，直到2023年。
He resigned as central bank chief earlier this week as the crisis surrounding ueno intensified. Before taking charge of the central bank, he had headed the digital lender until 2023.
与此同时，副总统佩德罗·阿利亚纳周五宣誓就任巴拉圭新总统，接替被免职的佩尼亚。这位来自执政党科罗拉多党的资深政客将完成剩余总统任期，任期至2028年8月。
Meanwhile, Vice President Pedro Alliana was sworn in as Paraguay's new president on Friday after Pena's removal. A veteran politician from the ruling Colorado Party, Alliana will serve the remainder of the presidential term, which runs until August 2028.
为遏制该贷款机构倒闭带来的连锁反应，巴拉圭央行周六表示，近120万名储户已在国家存款担保计划下获得赔付，总额相当于1.6亿美元。
In an effort to contain the fallout from the lender's collapse, Paraguay's central bank said on Saturday that nearly 1.2 million savers had received payouts totalling the equivalent of $160 million under the state deposit guarantee scheme.
