Evo Morales faces legal scrutiny in Argentina and arrest threats in Bolivia
Legal proceedings in Argentina involving former Bolivian President Evo Morales are progressing slowly. The investigation, handled by the Federal Criminal and Correctional Court No. 2 in Buenos Aires, concerns allegations of human trafficking and corruption involving minors. The case was reopened in April 2025 following complaints by Fundación Apolo regarding Morales's conduct during his political asylum between December 2019 and November 2020. Recent testimony from two Federal Police custodians indicated they observed Morales with a minor who did not match the description of his daughter.
In Bolivia, the situation has intensified following the appointment of new Police Commander General Adrián Álvarez. Álvarez stated that executing pending arrest warrants against Morales is a priority for the institution. Morales has responded to these developments via social media, characterizing the police actions as political persecution by the government of Rodrigo Paz intended to divert attention from the country's economic crisis and fuel shortages.
