The Bolivian Prosecutor General's Office asked to sentence Agnes to 15 years in prison. According to the newspaper, the court announced the verdict to the parties, but the rationale will be published in the coming days. The police detained the ex-president on the night of March 13, 2021 years on suspicion of terrorism, sedition and conspiracy as part of an ongoing coup d'état case. According to the investigation, she illegally proclaimed herself president of Bolivia without complying with the norms of the constitution and laws.
