Johnny Fernández, the former mayor of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, was declared rebellious and an arrest warrant was issued against him after he failed to attend a preliminary hearing. He is accused of misappropriating approximately 191 million bolivianos from municipal credits intended for public works. Fernández's lawyer denied that he was hiding and claimed that his absence from the hearing was a protective measure against biased courts. The police eventually apprehended Fernández during a raid on one of his offices. The prosecution has charged Fernández with the alleged crime of misappropriation of funds.
