How is the tense like in "fue interrogada" called?

Question

I have the following sentence: "La sospechosa fue interrogada por la mañana."

How is this tense called? Checking your nice overview https://progress.lawlessspanish.com/spanish-tense-names here, I have guessed it to be one of the Los Pasados Progresivos forms https://progress.lawlessspanish.com/spanish-tense-names - but it seems to be different by using "fue" and not "estar".

Any help would be appreciated.

Hola Horst
This is the passive, i.e. using the verb to be (ser) conjugated plus a past participle as in: he is watched, she was attacked, they have been shot... etc
So, this sentence is using the passive in the indefinido:

La sospechosa fue interrogada por la mañana.
The suspect was interrogated in the morning.
