Marcelo Arce Mosqueira is being prosecuted for the crime of money laundering.

Officers of the Bolivian Police arrested Luis Marcelo Arce Mosqueira this Wednesday in the Equipetrol area, in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, as part of an investigation into the alleged crime of money laundering.

The arrest was carried out in compliance with a warrant issued by the Santa Cruz Departmental Prosecutor’s Office, after identifying evidence that would link the suspect to this crime, as defined in Article 185 Bis of the Penal Code.

Following his arrest, Arce Mosqueira was transferred to the facilities of the Specialized Department for the Fight Against Corruption (Delcc), located in the Plan Tres Mil area, where he must provide his statement before the Public Prosecutor’s Office.

The arrest warrant was signed by prosecutor Néstor Torrez Tapia, who based the measure on evidence collected during the preliminary phase of the investigation.

According to initial reports, the inquiries point to possible irregular financial movements that are being analyzed by the competent authorities.

The Ministry of Government announced that it will hold a press conference to expand on the details of the case, where it is expected to clarify the scope of the investigation and the legal situation of the detainee.

The case is ongoing, and it is expected that in the coming hours the corresponding precautionary measures will be defined, while the actions of the Public Prosecutor’s Office continue.
