Bolivian Prosecutor Claims Dismissal Over Evo Morales Investigation

Sandra Gutiérrez alleges she was removed for pursuing human trafficking charges against the former president, who denies the accusations.

Sandra Gutiérrez, the former prosecutor from Tarija, Bolivia, claims she was dismissed after issuing an arrest warrant against Evo Morales for alleged human trafficking.
Morales, currently in Chapare, denies the accusations and calls them political persecution, asserting he is not intimidated by such actions.
Bolivia's Attorney General, Juan Lanchipa, states that Gutiérrez was removed due to procedural errors and negligence, but confirms the investigation will proceed.
The case involves a minor and remains under judicial secrecy; previous attempts to charge Morales have not advanced.
The situation highlights ongoing tensions between Morales and current President Luis Arce, amid internal conflicts within their political party, MAS.
