Molina is in fact a member of the opposition convicted for causing US$ 1.7 million in damages to the Bolivian state. It was a mistake to accept him at the embassy in first place. His life is not under threat, he just doesn't want to go to jail.

The Brazilian embassy shouldn't have meddle in this, much less by allowing him to flee an allied country without safe-conduct in a covert operation. There were certainly more people involved, from the army, intelligence, etc. Dilma seemed really angry about this. I hope this is fully explained, Patriota shouldn't take all the guilt.
