Bolivian coup general sentenced to 6 months pre-trial detention
A top prosecutor in La Paz has ordered General Juan Jose Zuniga to serve 6 months in "preventative detention" before facing trial for his failed coup attempt earlier this week.
Zuniga faces up to 20 years in prison on terrorism charges, and up to 15 years for directing an armed uprising, although he claims he was following an order from President Luis Arce - who has denied having any involvement in or prior knowledge of Zuniga's operation.
