On November 6, local time, Paraguayan police confirmed that former President Peña had been arrested and that he will be placed under house arrest according to the prosecutor's order. Earlier, the Paraguayan Public Prosecutor's Office issued an arrest warrant against Peña. The Paraguayan Congress passed an impeachment bill against Peña on the 6th, dismissing him as president. Peña is accused of being involved in a private banking business, with issues such as conflicts of interest, financial manipulation, and illegal use of pension funds. Peña submitted his resignation on the 5th due to the crisis caused by the seizure of the private bank to avoid impeachment. Later in the day, the Paraguayan National Assembly's vote on Peña's resignation was finally suspended due to insufficient numbers of participants, so Peña continued to hold the presidency for the time being. Congress then initiated the impeachment process against Peña.
