Last week, the Plurinational Constitutional Court rejected the unconstitutionality action filed by the defense of Jeanine Áñez, thus leaving a free way for the Justice to continue with the case and issue a ruling that Siles considers will not take longer than the week that comes.
The Minister of Justice of Bolivia, Iván Lima, announced last week that the conviction of the former de facto president could even reach fifteen years in prisonalthough he stressed that it is a decision that should fall only in the hands of the Judiciary.
Jeanine Áñez is accused in the context of what happened in November 2019, when the then president, Evo Moraleshad to leave office and, just two days later, Áñez herself, then a senator, assumed the presidency of Bolivia.
These events are part of a judicial case called ‘Coup d’etat I’ and ‘Coup d’état II’. This second is already in the oral trial phase, in which Áñez and eight other people are prosecuted for decisions contrary to the Constitution.
The former president has been held in preventive detention since March 2021. Already in November of last year, the Prosecutor’s Office requested the maximum sentence of ten years against the former president.
