    These are the kind of people who actually run the drug trade in Latin America. Huge case now in Bolivia. Right-wing congresswoman Laura Rojas brought 32 suitcases full of drugs & guns in a private jet coming from US to 🇧🇴, faced no checks & used a fake diplomatic passport 🧵

    This happened in November and she's been protected since then. Police only found her deposit space now by accident, when investigating a separate case. The officers on duty didn't get the memo and now the case is public. She was a congresswoman for the far-right CREEMOS party.

    That's the party led by Fernando Camacho, leader of the US-backed coup against Evo Morales in 2019. She's now a candidate for the Santa Cruz city council at the upcoming local elections.

    Upper class political figures with connections to the US are the group most likely to be involved in narcotafficking and gun running. They have the political connections to protect them.
