Bolivia probes disappearance of 33,608 cartridges from military barracks
El DeberLO·BO·2 days ago
A Bolivian military officer responsible for guarding a barracks depot has been ordered to serve 120 days of preventive detention in Cerprom over the disappearance of 33,608 munitions. The Prosecutor's Office suspects the bullets were stolen over several months, with boxes refilled with cement to conceal the shortage. The incident raises concerns about military stockpile security and potential diversion of weapons, though the investigation is ongoing and the full scope remains unclear.
