Minister Del Castillo denies coordination with DEA and rules out arrest warrants for Valle Sacta case

 Evo denounced that the U.S. agency operates from some ministries. The head of government maintains that all institutions work within the framework of sovereignty. 


The Minister of Government, Eduardo del Castillo, ruled out on Monday that there is coordination with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) of the United States (US), as denounced on Sunday by former President Evo Morales.

The authority emphasized that all state institutions work within the framework of sovereignty and in compliance with current regulations. "I have no knowledge whatsoever", he indicated with respect to the affirmations of the coca growers' leader.

"This is completely false, there is no type of coordination by the Ministry of Government with the DEA, the work of the Bolivian Police and all its divisions and directions, is a work framed within the sovereignty and the legal regulations in force, there is no type of coordination with the DEA", he stressed.


Morales denounced on Sunday that there is a national and international campaign to discredit the Cochabamba tropic zone and, especially, its leaders, its leaders such as Andrónico Rodríguez, Leonardo Loza and himself. "I don't know if that, the DEA (is) within some ministry or some ministries trying to implicate and demonize the peasant movement of the Cochabamba tropics," he accused.

Regarding the investigation on the "frustrated" operation in Valle Sacta (Entre Ríos), the minister denied that there are arrest warrants against former anti-narcotics chiefs and said that the investigation will determine responsibilities on the facts.

"The Police does not issue arrest warrants, there is no arrest warrant for this case and these investigations will continue, we have already presented the criminal complaint and the administrative complaints, and it will be the investigation that will determine the guilt or the veracity of these audios", he said.
