Since March 2021, Jeanine Añez remains in prison awaiting trial for crimes related to terrorism, sedition, and conspiracy.
The Bolivian Attorney General Juan Lanchipa will investigate the international trips made by Jeanine Añez who would have held a non-public meeting with far-right President Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil.
After carrying out the coup against President Evo Morales in November 2019, she would have sought a meeting with the Brazilian president to find out what his attitude towards the interim government was. The precise reasons for these trips, however, have not yet been fully clarified. For this reason, the Bolivian authorities expect Añez to testify in this regard.
According to the Argentinian outlet Pagina 12, Añez made 25 unregistered flights to Brazil during her regime. One of her trips was made hours before Añez assumed the presidency, which has been fueling theories of the Brazilian support for the coup d'etat.
