A court in Bolivia issued a contempt ruling against former President Evo Morales on Monday when he did not show up for a scheduled hearing, according to local media reports from La Razon.
The former leader, who ran Bolivia from 2006 until 2019, was supposed to appear in court to face criminal charges involving the trafficking of a minor.
The contempt citation adds another legal complication for Morales, who has been dealing with various legal challenges since leaving office.
