| Subject: Today's Anarcho-Capitalist Good News: Ex-Bolivian leader jailed for 'slander' Mon Sep 06, 2010 4:14 am | |
| Former Bolivian president Jorge Quiroga has been handed a two-year, eight-month sentence in prison for "defamation and slander" against state-run Banco Union, a lawyer for the bank said on Sunday.
The sentence was passed down on Saturday, lawyer Rene Arzabe told AFP.
The charges stemmed from claims made by conservative-leaning Quiroga in 2009, when he alleged the bank had become corrupted after being "seized" by the state and said it was being used to launder Venezuelan funds, but offered no evidence.
