Bolivia's Supreme Court approves extradition of ex-drug chief to U.S. for cocaine conspiracy.
Bolivia's Supreme Court has approved the extradition of Maximiliano Dávila, a former anti-narcotics chief, to the U.S. on charges of conspiring to smuggle cocaine and possessing machine guns. Dávila served as Bolivia's top drug official in 2019 under former President Evo Morales. This decision, which cannot be appealed, marks the second time a high-ranking Bolivian official has been extradited to the U.S., highlighting a rare case against a top security figure in Bolivia. Dávila denies the charges and is also facing money laundering charges in Bolivia.
