Another terrorism charge. The Prosecutor’s Office charged the governor of Santa Cruz, Luis Fernando Camacho, for this crime and nine other criminal offenses, including racism and resolutions contrary to the law, who has been in preventive detention in the Chonchocoro prison since December 30.
The crimes have to do with the complaint made by the leader of the Central Obrera Regional de El Alto (COR), Marcelo Mayta. The complaint was joined by the Council of Ayllus and Brands of Qollasuyo (Conamaq) and the Vice Ministry of Transparency which depends on the Ministry of Justice.
The Public Ministry requested that another six months in prison be applied against the governor. If the judge in the case, Helmer Laura, who is the same one who saw the ‘Coup I’ case, accepts the extremes of the Public MinistryCamacho’s detention will last longer. The first sanction, so far the only one, expires this weekend.
The governor’s attorney, Martín Camacho, pointed out that there are at least three annulment incidents that must be resolved before the April 27 hearingthe date set by Laura to consider the new preventive detention against the authority of Santa Cruz.
In addition, Camacho told EL DEBER that he is pending an appeal that calls for the trial of this case in Santa Cruz, where these crimes allegedly occurred. “The 120 days of preventive detention in his precautionary measure on December 29 will be completed this weekend. But this Wednesday there is a precautionary measure for the expansion of new crimes, for the Coup I case, ”explained Efraín Suárez, management advisor to the Santa Cruz Governor’s Office, referring to another case facing the authority of the department.
“As the term of his preventive detention is already expiring, he is now charged with financing terrorism and seducing troops. They are not random coincidences with the cases of the Las Américas hotel. These respond to a Castro-Chavista response, ”she said.
For Suárez, it is practically foreseeable, not to say that it is almost a fact, that they will extend the preventive detention. Regarding the precautionary hearing on the fire truck that was suspended, the new date and time is still unknown. “We are waiting for a new hearing date to be set,” said the authority in an interview with the Influential program broadcast by EL DEBER Radio.
