- Diaz thought the cold weather would provide some cover during his escape, prison officials said.
- “We inform the Bolivian population that prison security police officers from the San Pedro de Chonchocoro Penitentiary Center prevented the escape of prisoner José Luis Callisaya Diaz (alias El Araña), who took advantage of the inclement weather to try to flee through one of the walls of the external perimeter of the prison,” the Director of the Penitentiary Regime Juan Carlos Limpias said.
- Authorities have ordered legal and disciplinary actions against Diaz since his attempted escape.
