The governor of La Paz Santos Quispe is against the wall after the scandal about the alleged consumption of alcoholic beverages in his office. The Prosecutor’s Office is preparing a formal accusation against him for this fact while the departmental authority remains in police cells.
“The formal indictment resolution is going to be issued since he (Santos Quispe) has been taken as an apprehended person and it is up to the jurisdictional authority to decide whether to keep him in this capacity or with some type of precautionary measure. ”, reported the prosecutor Omar Mejillones.
The prosecutor stressed that the background of the fact on which the formal accusation against Quispe will be based is still being analyzed and clarified that the crime of improper use of state assets would be one of the figures that can stop his preventive detention.
