This is one of the two causes against him.
The former president of Bolivia, Jeanine Áñez, was sentenced this Friday to 10 years in prison after a court found her guilty of the crimes of breach of duties and resolutions contrary to the Constitution, within the framework of the coup that the former president suffered. Evo Morales in November 2019.
In this way, the first trial against Áñez ended, who has been under house arrest since last year and who, in addition, will face other judicial processes in which crimes against humanity are charged.
The process was carried out after a series of delays, since it was supposed to start on February 10, but it was suspended on several occasions due to technical complications, since due to the pandemic it was carried out remotely, and due to constant challenges from Áñez’s lawyers.
Finally, the trial was able to begin on June 6 in the midst of a wide expectation, and with permanent protests at the doors of the Court.
Áñez tried by all means to suspend the hearings, especially due to alleged health problems. She went on hunger strikes, she broke down, was taken to hospital and later she claimed that she was suffering from stress, back pain and panic attacks.
Along with his lawyers, he also insisted that the trial was illegal and only responded to a “revenge” of the current government. In her statements, she proclaimed her innocence, she apologized “for the mistakes made” and assured that she became president to “pacify the country.” In addition, she defined herself as a “political prisoner.”
