Boliviana de Aviación (BoA), through a statement, rejected the statements made by a CC national deputy and assured that Miguel Angel Garrido Salvatierrathe Bolivian who fell with 440 kg of drugs in Paraguay, “He is not an employee of our company.”

The statement states that Garrido Salvatierra “performed functions as technical maintenance assistantbut not as a pilot, from the 2018 management until his disassociation from BoA in the 2022 management “.

We reject that ill-intentioned people wish to damage or tarnish the image and the honorability of our pilots; and we ratify our confidence in their professionalism demonstrated on each flight,” says the statement from the state company.

In addition, the official page of the Plurinational Electoral Body assures that Garrido are militants of the Movement to Socialism (MAS-IPSP). His residence is the department of Santa Cruz.

It was learned that the plane with registration CP-2769 piloted by Robalino and Garrido, which fell in Paraguay, it was kidnapped by the Special Force to Fight Drug Trafficking (Felcn) in March 2017, because it was discovered that it was used to ship controlled substances to Peru and Brazil.
