La Paz, August 13 (RHC)-- A commission of Bolivian prosecutors, headed by prosecutor Omar Mejillones, is advancing in the investigation of the 2019 coup case.  On Thursday, the commission announced that they will summon more individuals to testify about the event.

"In the afternoon, I am going to meet with the commission and the following week we will also have a list of some names of people who are going to come to testify (...). Mr. Jerjes Justiniano, Mr. Roberto Moscoso, also Dorian Medina and other people who are in the report of the Episcopal Conference," said Mejillones this Thursday.

In addition, in first order will be summoned to testify as witnesses all those who attended the meetings held at the Bolivian Catholic University (UCB) in November 2019, proposed by the Episcopal Conference of Bolivia.

In this regard, the former minister of the de facto government of Jeanine Áñez, Óscar Ortiz, expressed that his first participation in a meeting of the UCB was on November 12, 2019.

Ortiz, in the role of witness, answered the 50 questions made by the Prosecutor's Office after appearing to testify before the Public Prosecutor's Office.

For his part, the secretary general of the Attorney General's Office, Edwin Quispe, urged last Monday all those summoned to provide the greatest elements within a case being investigated by the Departmental Prosecutor's Office of La Paz.

Since Bolivia reestablished the constitutional order with the election of President Luis Arce, the authorities continue the investigations to determine the degree of guilt of the activists who participated in the coup d'état against the legitimate government of Evo Morales.
