This market will resolve to "Yes" if Evo Morales, former President of Bolivia, is arrested or detained by law enforcement between market creation and May 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Temporary holding at a detention facility while awaiting a judge’s decision on whether to grant a detention warrant qualifies, so long as they are held by law enforcement in an official capacity during that time. A qualifying arrest/detention includes: * Being taken into physical custody by law enforcement authorities (including federal, state, local, military, or international law enforcement) * Voluntarily surrendering to law enforcement authorities in response to an arrest warrant * Being formally booked or processed following detention * Being handcuffed by a state authority and taken to a police station * Surrendering at a police station or courthouse with their attorney * Being placed under house arrest or electronic monitoring The following scenarios will NOT qualify as an arrest/detention * An arrest warrant being issued but not executed * Being questioned or interviewed without arrest * Being named in an indictment without arrest The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the arresting government and law enforcement; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Traders price an 82% chance Evo Morales avoids arrest by May 31, reflecting the persistent but unenforced arrest warrant issued over human trafficking charges since late 2024. Despite Interior Minister statements in late February 2026 signaling intent to detain him ahead of trial, no enforcement actions have followed in the ensuing two months, allowing Morales to remain protected in his Chapare stronghold amid supporter blockades. Recent public reappearances, including after a seven-week absence ending February, underscore his mobility and political influence within Bolivia's fractured MAS party, exacerbated by former President Luis Arce's December 2025 corruption arrest. Absent escalated police operations or judicial breakthroughs, significant barriers persist to execution by the deadline.
