Former interim president of Bolivia, Jeanine Áñez and several ex-ministers have been arrested.
Prosecutors say she and the ministers took part in a coup against the then President Evo Morales in 2019.
Morales resigned and fled Bolivia after protests and allegations of electoral fraud.
Áñez has said she is the victim of a political vendetta by Morales’s Mas Socialist party, which has since returned to power.
The party won a landslide victory in presidential and congressional elections in October last year, paving the way for Morales to return to Bolivia from Argentina and take over the leadership of the Mas party.
Morales fled Bolivia in November 2019 after weeks of violent protests and after losing the backing of the military over his controversial re-election to a fourth term in office.
Several of his allies in senior posts also left the country.
