Former Anti-Drug Chief of Bolivia Extradited to the U.S. on Drug Trafficking Charges
Bolivian authorities have extradited Maximiliano Davila, the former head of the government’s anti-drug efforts under former President Evo Morales, to the United States. He faces drug trafficking charges and is suspected of protecting drug traffickers during his tenure. The U.S. government has offered a $5 million reward for information leading to his arrest. Davila will serve his sentence in the U.S. before facing further legal action in Bolivia, where he asserts his innocence. Morales has criticized the extradition as a violation of international agreements.
