La Paz : The Bolivian Government confirmed on Monday that the United States will extradite ex-Interior Minister Luis Arce Gomez, wanted in Bolivia for genocide, after his release from a Miami-based prison on November 22.
Bolivian Deputy Minister of Justice Wilfredo Chavez received US notification that they will deport Luis Arce Gomez, who served as minister of Interior during the Luis Garcia Meza dictatorship, a period when he was known as “cocaine minister.”
Arce Gomez, who used to threaten opponents by warning them to walk “with their testament under their arm,” will serve a 30-year sentence, without right to pardon, in Chonchocoro Prison.
Garcia Meza’s former right-hand man lacks privileges in the United States, as US laws declare foreigners tried for drug trafficking “undesirable.”
