The Hungarian and the Croat, who also has Bolivian citizenship, were also charged  with “membership of a group of mercenaries hired by the local bourgeoisie to engage in separatist activities against the regional authorities in Santa Cruz in 2009 and prepare the assassination of President Morales,” the official statement read.
