Bolivia to Request Criminal Extradition
La Paz
May 21
The US lack of political will to collaborate with the Bolivian justice, requesting the extradition of an ex-minister charged of crimes against humanity has tinged the international expectation.
The Bolivian Foreign Ministry, the General Attorney's Office and the Department for the People's Defense expressed their intention to request the extradition of Luis Arce Gomez, cruel minister of interior during the regimen of Luis Garcia Meza (1980-1981) and arrested under trafficking charges.
The request takes place amid the expectations generated due to the parole conceded to Arce Gomez for an alleged good behavior in the penitentiary center where he has been jailed since December 1990.
According to Attorney General Pedro Gareca, the ex-minister will be released next year instead of being extradited to abide the 30-year sentence with no right to reprieve.
People's prosecutor Waldo Albarracin called to start extradition procedures so that they may be concluded by his release.
Bolivian authorities consider that the lack of political will showed by the US government hampers the expectations on the extradition process.
