THE Luis Marcelo Arce Mosqueira – son of the president of Bolivia Louis Arce – who was arrested on Thursday accused of “domestic violence” – was released on a court order, which provides for psychological support sessions for a period of five months.

During the hearing, the plaintiff appeared in court accompanied by her lawyer and asked for the charges to be dropped. She had produced a doctor’s certificate granting her 12 days sick leave from work.

The prosecution asked for the defendant’s pre-trial detention for 180 days, but the judge had a different opinion and released the 33-year-old on the condition that he attend psychological support sessions for five months.
