Former senior Bolivian official Sergio Rodrigo Mendez was arrested for seeking kickbacks from a group of Florida-based businessmen allegedly selling tear gas at inflated prices to the conservative government of former interim President Jeanine Anez, who took power in November 2019 after Morales stepped down amid violent protests disputing his re-election to a fourth straight term.
