La Paz, Apr 27 (Prensa Latina) Former Bolivian coup President Jeanine Añez diverted 1.21 million dollars in oil funds, under the pretext of using them to fight Covid-19 in 2020, a state official revealed.
The former president irregularly used that amount from a total of 1.731 million dollars that she requested from the state-owned Yacimiento Petroliferos Fiscales Bolivianos (YPFB), according to YPFB CEO Wilson Zelaya.
The money was part of a larger outlay for a YPFB's program to fight the pandemic in the country, ordered by former Minister of Hydrocarbons Víctor Zamora and then YPFB CEO Herland Soliz.
