The conservative interim president who led Bolivia for a year was arrested as officials of the restored leftist government pursue those involved in the 2019 ousting of socialist leader Evo Morales, which they regard as a coup, and the administration that followed.
Jeanine Anez was detained in the early morning in her hometown of Trinidad and was flown to the capital, La Paz.
She had earlier warned that officials were searching her, terming it “abuse and persecution” in Twitter posts.
