The Bolivian authorities will turn to Interpol for help in connection with the warrant issued by the prosecutor's office for the arrest of ex-president Evo Morales, TASS reported referring to the press service of prosecutor general's office.

The Bolivian Prosecutor General, Juan Lanchipa Ponce, said that the prosecutor’s office is requesting that the arrest warrant be handed over to the police to execute it, and that she will request cooperation from Interpol, the statement said.

According to the Prosecutor General, the MFA will also be involved  to activate all possible mechanisms of cooperation. Lanchipa Ponce noted that the normal criminal prosecution procedure had been launched against Morales, as the crimes of which he was suspected were allegedly committed after his resignation.

On Wednesday, Bolivian Interior Minister Arturo Murillo tweeted a document deciding to issue an arrest warrant for Morales as part of a criminal investigation into incitement to rebellion, terrorism and terrorist financing. The ex-president called the warrant illegal and contrary to the constitution.
