Abstract: This dataset contains digitized historical documents, court records, and trial transcripts related to the legal proceedings against former Bolivian Minister of Interior, Colonel Luis Arce Gómez, held at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (Miami) between 1989 and 1991. The original physical records are preserved at the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in Atlanta, Georgia.
