Santiago Peña, president of Paraguay, was impeached and removed from office after the collapse of a state-affiliated bank. He was placed under arrest and is scheduled to appear before prosecutors for questioning.
Both outlets report the same core sequence of events (impeachment, arrest, prosecutorial questioning tied to a bank collapse), but NPR frames the event mainly through the formal political process (Senate vote, house arrest), while Newsweek adds specific legal allegations against Peña (breach of trust, influence peddling, misappropriation of funds) and emphasizes the speed of the arrest following impeachment.
