A Bolivian plastic surgeon who was wanted for sexually abusing his patients under anesthesia in 2019 in the Federal Capital was extradited from his home country to Argentina. Officers from the International Cooperation Directorate of the Argentine Federal Police (PFA) carried out the extradition in recent hours from the Plurinational State of Bolivia to our country of a doctor who had an international arrest warrant for the crime of sexual abuse with carnal access. The facts attributed to him occurred in 2019, in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, where the accused, in his private office, 'was performing aesthetic treatments and sexually abusing his patients while they were under the effects of the anesthesia that he himself administered.' The following year, the National Court in Criminal and Correctional Matters No. 17, headed by MartÃn Carlos Del Viso, issued a memo to the Federal Fugitives and Extraditions Division of the PFA, requesting the international capture of the suspect. From then on, Interpol issued a Red Notice for his location and detention. With the progress of the investigation and communication with the authorities of that country, it was determined that the accused had fled to Bolivia and was working in a clinic in the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, using a public profile on a well-known social network to promote himself as a plastic surgeon. As a result of the investigations carried out in Argentina and the exchange with the National Central Bureau (NCB) of Interpol in La Paz, the Bolivian authorities informed of his detention in March of this year. Consequently, the Argentine authorities formalized the extradition request before the Bolivian justice system, through the Directorate of International Legal Assistance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship, said request being accepted. To conclude, a police commission traveled to Bolivia and, in the last few hours, returned to the country with the detainee in custody. The subject arrived at Ministro Pistarini International Airport in Ezeiza, where he was made available to the corresponding judicial authority.
