Judge Lilian Moreno, who annulled the arrest warrant against former President Evo Morales, was sent on Tuesday (6) to the arrest of Palmeasola, in the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, the Bolivian Information Agency (ABI) said.
Moreno was arrested on Monday (5) to serve 30 days in pre-trial detention, added Abi.

According to ABI, Lilian Moreno is accused of non -compliance with resolutions in defense and unconstitutionality, and does not comply with duties to protect women in situations of violence.
THE CNN He tried to contact Moreno’s defense team, but the judge’s lawyer told Bolivian broadcaster Red Uno on Monday (5) that the case judge invoked the “right to remain silent”, believing that there were no procedural guarantees.
According to Abi, Moreno also reserved the right to witness on Tuesday (6).
The judge was arrested days after her decision to annul the arrest warrant against former President Evo Morales caused controversy. The order is the result of the investigation opened by the prosecutor in 2024 against the former president for alleged trafficking in persons, resulting from an alleged relationship with a minor.
The former president rejected the accusations, and accuses the government of the current president, Luis Arce, of “judicial persecution.”
On Friday (2), the Minister of Justice, César Adalid Siles Bazán, said that a judge in the capital La Paz had reactivated the arrest warrant against Morales, although this decision also generated controversy.
The Bolivian Judicial Council reported on Monday (5) that it began administrative and criminal proceedings against both judges for possible violations of the law.
