"In the coming weeks, we will also file charges against Añez for the Sacaba and Senkata massacres," Lima assured.
The statements occurred after the justice system ruled preventive detention for Añez, former Energy Minister Rodrigo Guzman, and former Justice Minister Alvaro Coimbra.

The coup-born regime officials are also accused of the crimes of sedition, conspiracy, and terrorism.
Lima informed that the Justice Ministry will provide legal assistance to the victims of the regime who have scarce economic resources.
On Sunday, the Bolivian justice system ordered Añez to be held in preventive detention for four months, after the Prosecutor's Office requested it due to the "risk of escape".
