El DeberLO·BO·2 days ago
Bolivia's government announced a new anti-drug policy including financial intelligence, asset investigations, recovery, and stricter control of chemical precursors, responding to an increase in coca cultivation. The measures signal a potential shift toward enforcement, but details on implementation and impact remain unclear. This matters as Bolivia is a major cocaine producer, and policy changes could affect regional drug flows and international cooperation.
