Bolivia’s Morales charged with human trafficking
Bolivian prosecutors announced on 16 December that an arrest warrant has been issued for former president Evo Morales (2006-2019), who is under investigation for alleged statutory rape and human trafficking relating to a relationship with a teenage girl. Morales, who has denied all wrongdoing and is currently holed up in his political stronghold of Chapare, Cochabamba department, claims that he is the victim of “lawfare” aimed at derailing his troubled bid to return to the presidency in next year’s elections.
