Bolivia's former President Evo Morales, failed to appear for a court hearing citing medical reasons. The ex-president is under investigation for aggravated trafficking of persons lodged against him.
Bolivia's former President, Evo Morales, did not appear for a court hearing citing medical reasons. Morales is being investigated for the crime of aggravated trafficking against a minor, with whom he allegedly fathered a child in 2016 during his administration.
The judge confirmed that Morales' defense had presented a medical report alleging he was suffering from several conditions, including bronchopneumonia, which prevented him from travelling to the city of Tarija where the hearing was set to take place.
With the hearing being rescheduled for Friday, Morales' defense has been given a 48-hour window to present medical evidence to substantiate the former president's illness. Tarija prosecutor warns that his failure to appear on Friday will result in the issuing of an arrest warrant.
Meanwhile, in Bolivia's capital, La Paz, police and supporters of Morales clashed during an anti-government protest. The thousands of protesters gathered to demand the resignation of incumbent leader, Luis Arce, citing economic challenges.
Authorities, however, believe the protests are related to the investigation of Morales.
