November 2026: pre-trial detention and charges in the Ueno Bank case

Formally charged

Prosecutors accuse the former superintendent of banks of failing to take the expected supervisory measures despite solvency and related-party exposure alerts at Ueno Bank. Charged with aggravated breach of trust, he was remanded in custody by Judge Humberto Otazú; on 13 November 2026 alleged criminal association was added, in the same filing as that targeting Santiago Peña and Carlos Carvallo.

State of the evidence
The detention order concerns custody, not a finding of guilt.
Legal status — source text
Pretrial detention ordered on 13 November; criminal case pending.
Attribution
Alleged failure to enforce banking oversight.
