A safe containing more than $2.5 million in cash was found in the home of Bolivia's former attorney general Roger Mariaca during a search today in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. This was reported by the main local media.

The operation was conducted by prosecutors and agents of the Bolivian police as part of the investigation into Mariaca for alleged criminal organization, drug trafficking and legitimization of illicit earnings.

The safe was in Mariaca's home, in a condominium in the northern area of ​​the city. Prosecutors from Santa Cruz and La Paz, police officers and a notary counted the money. Units of the Special Force to Fight Drug Trafficking (FELCN) and drug-sniffing dogs were also used in the operation. The discovery takes place a few days after the interception of an ambulance leaving the same house with 3.5 million bolivianos, approximately 260,000 euros, and 10,000 dollars in cash. Mariaca is detained in the Cantumarca prison, in Potosí.
