Bolivia arrested its attorney general on Wednesday night, days after the United States accused him of soliciting and accepting bribes connected to drug trafficking.
In an operation in the middle of the night, authorities “dismantled a criminal organization” and arrested 14 people, the country’s interior minister said. Four of the 14 were arrested in an attempt to haul bundles of cash out of the home of the attorney general and into the back of an ambulance, Interior Minister Marco Antonio Oviedo said.
