Argentina's Security Minister Sabina Frederic Friday said there was proof corroborating that her predecessor Patricia Bullrich was behind the shipment of weapons and ammunition to Bolivia during the revolt that toppled Evo Morales.

Frederic explained that inconsistencies found between the documented information left by the Gendarmería Nacional (GN - Border Guard) and then Defense Minister Oscar Aguad “allow us to ratify this complaint of aggravated smuggling.”

She added that there was no way goods that size “could have left [the country] legally.“

The Minister stressed that ”it is proven“ that the anti-riot weapons found in the warehouses of the Bolivian police were bought by Bullrich.

“We have found a lot of documentation and also inconsistencies between the documented information left by the GN and Aguad. These inconsistencies are data that allow us to ratify this complaint of aggravated smuggling,” Frederic said in a radio interview.
