LA PAZ (Reuters) -Bolivia’s Supreme Court ordered the release of former president Jeanine Anez on Wednesday, following several years of preventive detention linked to legal proceedings stemming from her interim administration in 2019, Supreme Court Justice Romer Saucedo said.
Anez was convicted in 2022 of violating constitutional norms that safeguard democratic order and for her alleged plot to oust her rival and predecessor Evo Morales. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison by a Bolivian court but has denied all charges against her.
