In a surprise operation carried out this Wednesday in the Sopocachi neighborhood of La Paz, police arrested former president Luis Alberto Arce Catacora, who was transferred shortly afterward to the FELCC (Special Force to Combat Crime) headquarters to begin the corresponding procedures for an investigation related to the alleged misuse of public funds.

Former Minister of the Presidency, María Nela Prada, denounced the arrest as an arbitrary measure and alerted the international community.

Around 3:00 p.m., Arce was placed in a white van and taken directly to the offices of the anti-crime unit. According to unofficial sources, the arrest is linked to the Indigenous Fund case, which is still under investigation.

Regarding the Indigenous Fund Case

The preliminary report indicates that the former president was arrested this Thursday by police officers to answer for crimes related to the Indigenous Fund, in which former congresswoman Lidia Patty is being prosecuted.

The former president was apprehended in the Sopocachi area and taken to the headquarters of the FELCC Anti-Corruption Unit to answer questions regarding the Indigenous Fund case. The Prosecutor's Office is prosecuting several people for the embezzlement of large sums of money intended for social programs, which ended up in the personal accounts of officials in the government of then-President Luis Arce.

According to police officers, the former president did not resist arrest and remained calm in the presence of the police.
