Luis Arce was arrested in La Paz, Bolivia, as part of a corruption investigation into the alleged misappropriation of public funds from Indigenous community projects.The accusations stem from his tenure as finance minister under Evo Morales, where Arce allegedly authorized transfers to personal accounts of political leaders, an action welcomed by Edman Lara but condemned as political persecution by María Nela Prada.Arce, who did not run for re-election as president in August 2025, faces scrutiny over these alleged financial irregularities.
