El NacionalLO·BO · US·about 16 hours ago
Bolivia's Legislative Assembly (ALP) has called a session for tonight to inaugurate an interim attorney general, replacing Róger Mariaca, who was arrested and charged with criminal organization, drug trafficking protection, and money laundering. The move follows a high-level corruption scandal within the judiciary, signaling a political shift in Bolivia's justice leadership. The interim appointment's independence and the broader anti-corruption drive remain uncertain.
