Luis Revilla governed the city of La Paz for over a decade, from 2010 to 2021, and left behind projects that still define the city, such as the PumaKatari bus system and the famous pedestrian crossings.

But that same transportation project became his nightmare: an accusation of alleged overpricing in the purchase of 61 buses opened a criminal case, a court declared him a fugitive, Interpol issued a warrant for his arrest in 195 countries, and even his mother-in-law ended up being prosecuted.

Revilla went into hiding and spent four years outside Bolivia as a political refugee, while his family faced interrogations and pressure. In this video, we reconstruct that downfall, the silence of exile, and the unexpected turn that brought him back to the country.
