In a coordinated operation between Bolivian and Peruvian authorities, the wife of notorious Peruvian criminal, 'El Monstruo' (Erick Moreno Hernandez), was apprehended in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. The arrest, part of a larger crackdown on a transnational criminal network, marks a significant blow against the organization. Bolivian authorities confirmed the arrest of Elisbeth Albina Ruiz, who is suspected of involvement in money laundering and other crimes.
