Bolivian police arrested Attorney General Roger Mariaca on Wednesday, two days after the United States revoked his visa over alleged ties to drug trafficking, a government source told AFP.
"The arrest of Prosecutor Mariaca has been confirmed," a source from the Ministry of Government said.
Authorities also arrested Santa Cruz prosecutor Alberto Zeballos, who has likewise been sanctioned by Washington, according to local media.
