LA PAZ, Dec 10 (Reuters) – Bolivian ex-President Luis Arce, who left office last month, has been arrested, a former member of his cabinet said on Wednesday.
Arce may have been taken to a prison outside of La Paz, Maria Nela Prada, who served as minister to the presidency under Arce, said in a video message on X.
Local media reports said Arce was arrested as part of an investigation into alleged embezzlement while serving as economy minister under ex-leader Evo Morales.
