Almost all eligible depositors who lost access to their money in a bank seizure that rocked Paraguay have had part of their funds reimbursed, the Central Bank said Tuesday.
The November 3 takeover of Ueno Bank, carried out amid major insolvency concerns, locked almost half the population of the normally stable country out of their accounts.
Senators impeached President Santiago Pena, who is linked to Ueno, over the crisis. The impeachment was a key demand of large-scale nationwide protests, along with the return of the money.
