Evo Morales: Bolivia is not a Refuge for Criminals, Unlike US
Published 29 May 2015 (2 hours 11 minutes ago)

President Evo Morales says the United States should stop harboring former Bolivian officials accused of human rights abuses.

Bolivia's president Evo Morales personally oversaw Friday the handover of a fugitive wanted by Peruvian authorities.

“I want the common criminals and corrupt foreigners to know that Bolivia is not going to be a refuge for corrupt people,” Morales said from the northern Bolivian border town of Desaguadero.

Morales observed as Bolivian authorities handed fugitive Martin Belaunde over to Peruvian police. A prominent Peruvian businessperson, Belaunde is wanted for corruption and unlawful association by Peruvian authorities.
