A banking collapse has triggered a political crisis in Paraguay, with President Mario Abdo Benítez impeached following the failure of Ueno Bank, CNN reports.
The bank's collapse left millions of customers unable to access their funds, causing widespread economic instability, according to NPR.
Prosecutors are now considering opening the ex-president's vaults as part of an investigation into the financial scandal, UPI notes.
The crisis has severely tested Latin America's credibility, with analysts warning of regional contagion, per GFMag.
