The trial of Elod Toaso, a Hungarian citizen accused of terrorism, will start in Bolivia on Monday, Nepszabadsag daily said.
Toaso and Bolivian-Croatian Mario Tadic were arrested in the midst of a police operation to disrupt an alleged plot to assassinate President Evo Morales in Hotel Las Americas of Santa Cruz in April 2009.
According to the Bolivian authorities, Hungarian-Croatian-Bolivian citizen Eduardo Rozsa Flores, Romanian Arpad Magyarosi and Irish Michael Martin Dwyer were shot dead in the operation.
After nearly two years of investigation, prosecutor Marcelo Sosa laid charges against Toaso, Tadic and a further 37 accused, including advocates of Santa Cruz province's pro-autonomy movement, who had allegedly invited and financed foreign terrorists and encouraged them to kill the president and other Bolivian politicians. Fifteen defendants have escaped abroad.
Andres Bartos, the Hungarian honorary consul in La Paz, told the paper that the trial would be held in Cochabamba, 400 km from the capital. The consul said he did not plan to travel there for the trial. It is sufficient for the honorary consul to follow the trial for the time being, the Hungarian foreign affairs spokesperson told Nepszabadsag.
