Evo Morales claims accusation of him fathering child with 15-year-old is strategy to block his 2025 presidential run

Bolivia’s former president Evo Morales has claimed he is the “victim of a brutal judicial war” orchestrated by the current president, Luis Arce, after prosecutors issued an arrest warrant over his alleged relationship with a minor.

On Monday, public prosecutor Sandra Gutiérrez revealed that a warrant for Morales’s arrest has been active since October. He is accused of “human trafficking” involving a 15-year-old girl with whom he allegedly fathered a child in 2016.
