Javier Tapia

Javier Tapia is an attorney representing former Bolivian government minister Arturo Murillo in various legal proceedings. He was recently in the news for not appealing a court's decision to place Murillo in preventive detention, citing his client's lack of a permanent address and personal documents, which complicated the possibility of seeking alternative measures. Tapia's involvement highlights the legal challenges faced by Murillo, who is implicated in multiple criminal cases, including corruption related to the procurement of tear gas.
