Martin Belaunde Captured in Bolivia after Escaping House Arrest
- 9 years ago
Martin Belaunde, former advisor to Peruvian President Ollanta Humala, was re-arrested on Thursday in Bolivia. Last Sunday, May 24, the official had escaped from house arrest in the Andean nation to avoid his extradition to Peru to face corruption charges. Belaunde’s escape prompted President Evo Morales to replace his Interior Minister and Chief of Police and to express his regret that some officials had tarnished Bolivia’s image. teleSUR
