Monday afternoon, the Special Force to Fight Crime (FELCC) made The fifth arrest warrant within the investigation that continues in the case of the ‘military assonada’ which was raised on June 26, 2024 at the doors of Quemado Palace.
This compliance occurs in the midst of questions about The legal support of the Paz Prosecutor’s Office to cite civilianswhich are appointed in a documentary of the Ministry of Government called What happened on 26j?, as alleged members of the de facto government cabinet of former general Juan José Zúñiga.
The apprehension
We believe the deputy Richard Ribera was apprehended after his arrival at El Alto airport. The parliamentarian traveled to the government headquarters with his lawyer, parliamentarians of the same political store and other relatives, to appear and declare before the Public Ministry before the arrest warrant that weighed against him.
Before this last apprehension, lawyer Jorge Valda was arrested who was later released; to the general in retirement of the FFAA, Marco Bracamonte; Bismarck Imaña, member of the National Defense Group; and Mario José Takana Arauz, Colonel in Retiro.
“We have nothing to hide. We are with the quiet consciousness, we know that we have not participated in an alleged coup d’etat,” he said Ribera in the airport terminal.
Cristhian Tejada, Ribera’s lawyer, illegally described the apprehension since first there must have been a notification at the defendant’s homeaccording to the criminal procedure, so this “irregularity” will be released at the hearing of precautionary measures that will take place this Tuesday, April 22. In addition, he pointed out that the Prosecutor’s Commission must prove before the judge of the case that there is the probability of authorship, danger of escape and hinder the process towards its defendant.
“They must demonstrate the probability for the crime of terrorism, armed and attack on the president,” he said and then complemented that “if these conditions do not meet, the precautionary judge will have no other than give him pure and simple freedom what we are going to ask for,” the lawyer supported.
The Minister of Government, Eduardo del Castillo, He allegedly pointed to Ribera to elaborate an art to quote the population in the roundabout of Christ the Redeemer after June 26 because “a government of liberation” had allegedly arrived. For that art that sent the activist Fernando Hamdan is that they investigated Ribera.
For his part Róger Mariaca, State Attorney General, He affirmed that there is a fact and that the indications presented by the Paz Prosecutors Commission As the probability of authorship, danger of escape and hindering the process were valued by the justice that derived, for example, in Zúñiga’s preventive detention in El Abra prison, in Cochabamba.
He recalled that The case ’26j’ was “inherited” from the management of then prosecutor Juan Lanchipabefore they assume the Prosecutor’s Office and that in that line the Paz Prosecutor was requested to monitor this investigation.
The civilians cited
At least four political and economic analysts were summoned as witnesses by the Public Ministry. The attorney general asked not to misrepresent and cause discomfort in society, since he ensures that There is an apprehension figure without citation in the criminal procedureand because the right of someone who can help in the investigations and clarify the fact was not violated.
“Given a minimum contradiction that may exist or degree of participation, any matter prosecutor has the power to expand within that fact or initiate other investigation. The political issue is set aside as a Public Ministry,” said the attorney general. However, he did not give explanations about the legal support that supports the call to these civilians cited in the documentary.
The duty tried to communicate with the departmental prosecutor of La Paz, Luis Carlos Tórrezto know the legal basis to cite the alleged cabinet, in addition to the other five people on which an arrest warrant was arranged after the documentary presented by Del Castillo, however, they did not respond justifying that they were in “operations”.
