Three suspected leaders of a failed coup against Bolivian President Luis Arce were remanded in custody on Friday for six months, the country's top prosecutor said. Former army chief Juan Jose Zuniga, former head of navy Juan Arnez and Alejandro Irahola, former head of the army's mechanized brigade, will be held in a high-security prison not far from the capital La Paz. Zuniga has claimed that he was following Arce's orders and that the president had hoped for the coup to trigger a crackdown that would boost his popularity. #Boliva #coup #Arce 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: f24.my/FBen Follow us on X (Twitter): f24.my/Xen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: f24.my/TGen
