Passengers and their transfer to the Bolivian capital.
In statements to Bolivian media signed by Agencia EFE, Rolando Rojas, director of the Special Force to Fight Crime (Felcc), announced that those responsible for the organization, including the singer’s brother, had been arrested “for investigation.”
The police chief pointed out that “today (Thursday) the concert was promised” as there was already the first cancellation of the presentation in the cities of La Paz and Santa Cruz. At the beginning of last December.
Rojas noted that “a lot of people got their tickets” and even came from within the country to wait for the event outside the main La Paz stadium.
