La Paz, Dec 31 (Prensa Latina) The Bolivian justice announced on Thursday that it will prosecute former officials of the de facto government for the illegal purchase of medical supplies under the pretext of using them against the Covid-19 but the real intention was to pocketing money.
The authorities will investigate members of Jeanine Áñez's executive, involved in these acts of corruption in the middle of the quarantine against the pandemic, Minister of Justice Iván Lima assured.
The official pointed out there is no documentation to withstand such acquisitions, about which some processes remain open, such as the one referring to the purchase of some 300 defective respirators.
These equipment of Spanish and Chinese origin were negotiated at a premium and without meeting the technical specifications for the care of patients with Covid-19 in the country, Lima recalled.
According to the Minister, among the complaints are alleged negotiations to buy vaccines against the disease, about which 'we have found nothing, no files, no information.'
Lima explained that these processes will take place in 2021 against those who caused economic damage to the State and deadly consequences for thousands of people who lost their lives due to lack of medicines.
