LA PAZ, Bolivia – A Bolivian judge has rendered a guilty verdict against the owner of the bankrupt Aerosur airline for illicit enrichment and sentenced him in absentia to five years in prison.
Judge Nancy Altuzarra also ordered the confiscation of an apartment building and a collection of 55 automobiles belonging to Humberto Roca.
Her Monday verdict was announced Tuesday by prosecutors.
Roca fled to Florida in 2010 and says he’s a victim of political persecution for having sided with the political opposition. His lawyer, Jorge Valda, said Roca was preparing a statement.
