Bolivia to request of ex minister’s extradition for attempted murder

La Paz, Oct 23 (Prensa Latina) Bolivia will ask Brazil to extradite Luis Fernando Lopez, former Minister of Defense during the de facto government of Jeanine Añez, for possible responsibility in the attempted assassination of President Luis Arce, according to media reports.

The request comes after the publication of some recordings by The Intercept, an investigation magazine based in the United States, which allow determining that Lopez would be the mastermind of the assassination plot, Bolivia TV reported.

According to the magazine’s investigation, Bolivia was on the verge of a new coup d’etat and an armed invasion by US mercenaries after Arce’s electoral victory in October 2020.

The national Government had access to intercepted audios, model contracts and e-mails that attribute the destabilization plan to Lopez.
