Bolivia judge orders ex-President Arce's detention

Bolivia judge orders ex-President Arce's detention

A judge in Bolivia has decided that the former President, Luis Arce, will be held in prison for five months.

This is because he is being investigated for taking money that was supposed to be used for projects to help indigenous communities.

He was the President until last month and was also the economy minister before that.

The judge thinks there is enough evidence to keep him in prison while they continue their investigation.

This is a big deal because he was a very important leader in Bolivia.
