Bolivian Court Detains Ex-President Arce on Corruption Charges
Update: 2025-12-13
Description
Former Bolivian President Luis Arce, a leader of the Movement Toward Socialism party, has been ordered to remain in detention for five months while facing corruption charges. The accusations involve the alleged diversion of millions of dollars from a state fund into private accounts during his time as economy minister under former President Evo Morales. Arce strongly denies the charges, claiming political persecution, while his lawyers requested his release due to his past health issues. The case was reopened under the new conservative President Rodrigo Paz, who campaigned on a promise to clean up the government and seek justice for corruption.
