La Paz, June 29 (RHC)-- The Government of Bolivia announced this Friday that they had captured four more soldiers involved in last Wednesday's coup against President Luis Arce, under the orders of the dismissed General Commander of the Army, General Juan José Zuñiga.

The Minister of Government, Eduardo del Castillo, reported in a press conference the arrest of infantry captain Miguel Burgos.  Del Castillo accused Burgos of being in charge of planning the seizure of Plaza Murillo in front of the Arce Government headquarters.

The minister also presented Sergeant Allan Condorini before the cameras, who broke down the door of the Executive headquarters on the day of the coup attempt.  Likewise, he reported that Air Force General Marcelo Zegarra is being investigated and is in custody.

Del Castillo expressed that the soldiers who participated in the coup d'état maintained communication through the Facetime telephone application and did not use social networks.

The minister assured "Juan José Zuñiga did not work alone, these 21 people and these soldiers did not work unilaterally." He added "Zuñiga was a narcissist and called himself the 'General of the People, a planetary leader' (...) these behaviors will have to be evaluated by psychiatrists."
