BOLIVIA-PERU: Belaunde Lossio debacle prompts dismissals
Bolivia’s President Evo Morales replaced his interior minister, Hugo Moldiz, and the chief of the national police, General Luis Cerruto last week. The changes came two days after the disappearance on 24 May of Peruvian businessman, Martín Belaunde Lossio, who had just lost his fight to avoid extradition to Peru to face corruption charges. A former adviser to Peru’s President Ollanta Humala, Belaunde Lossio, who was picked up four days later in Magdalena, in the department of Beni near the Brazilian border, and has since been handed over to the Peruvian authorities by President Morales in person, had been held under house arrest in La Paz.
