Bolivia gives details of CIA activity

Bolivia: Bolivian President Evo Morales gave details about an alleged CIA role in a corruption scandal affecting the country’s main firm.

According to Morales, the CIA infiltrated state-run oil firm Yacimientos Petrol¡feros Fiscales Bolivianos (YPFB) through YPFB’s Marketing Director Rodrigo Carrasco, who took part in more than fifteen training courses in the United States. Carrasco was trained by the CIA as a covert agent to establish a corruption network, said Morales in Lauka N, Cochabamba, at a ceremony to launch Kausachum Coca community radio.

According to a file read by Morales by the said radio station, Carrasco attended courses in several US facilities that train experts in intelligence, security, communication and even political issues. These facilities include the School of the Americas, the mission of which I do not have to explain to Bolivians, he said, referring to the site where Latin American dictators were trained, which was re-baptized in 2001.

In Morales’ opinion, from his position as CIA agent, Carrasco accomplished multiple missions in regional countries including Argentina, Brazil and Chile, as well as in Iraq, under the guise of a hydrocarbon security expert.

"Unfortunately there has been a CIA presence in Yacimientos Petroliferos Fiscales Bolivianos , and some of our colleagues have been caught by this foreign infiltration," said Morales, referring to the arrest of his friend and former YPFB president, Santos Ramirez.

The case has been a major political embarrassment for Morales, as Ramirez, once described as one of the president's closest collaborators, was founder of the party that currently rules Bolivia—the Movement Toward Socialism.
