Bolivian-American billionaire Marcelo Claure floated the idea of offering a $1 million reward for ex-president Evo Morales, who is the subject of an arrest warrant.

Claure, in a post on x.com late on Saturday, said he would think about the reward, above a photograph of a wanted poster for Evo Morales, implying, but without saying as much, that the reward would be for information leading to the former president’s arrest. Claure, a former COO of SoftBank, now manages his own investment fund and family office.
