Experts say Hungarian-Romanian shot in Bolivia was “executed”

Hungarian forensic experts believe that Arpad Magyarosi, an ethnic Hungarian Romanian citizen shot dead by Bolivian police during an alleged anti-terrorist attack in April, was executed, a police official said on Sunday.

The experts prepared a virtual reconstruction of the standoff that took place in a Santa Cruz hotel room on April 16, during which Hungarian-Croatian-Bolivian citizen Eduardo Rozsa Flores and Irish Michael Martin Dwyer were also shot dead.

On the basis of photographs taken in the hotel room after the standoff and post-mortem records prepared by a Hungarian doctor, the experts say that after Magyarosi surrendered to the police, he was shot seven times, dying from internal bleeding after 30 minutes, said Peter Tarjanyi.

Karoly Nagy Andras, Foreign Minister of the Sovereign Order Of Saint John Knights of Malta, Federation of the Autonomous Priores, said that the Order would take the Magyarosi case to the court of human rights.

Attila Nyikos, the Magyarosi family’s lawyer, said that he would submit a report to police on Monday regarding the murder of a European Union citizen.

The 28-year-old ethnic Hungarian and his two allies were shot dead for alleged involvement in an plot to kill Bolivian President Evo Morales.

    Arpad Magyarosi was a dreamer (poet, rock
    musician, convert to islam, playing ‘soldier of
    fortune”, and what not). A yet immature young man
    full of illusions and looking for doing
    “extraordinary things”.
    That “bolivian”-affair was supposed to be his last
    ‘adventure’ after which he intented to settle with
    his sweeheart and become a responsible father.
    It was not meant to be, his childish toying
    eventually got him involved in serios bussiness
    and to his death. In Bolivia you start working at
    12 years old and you are either mature or dead at
    16, life is hard there, no place for day-dreamers.
    He would have better remained in Transylvania and
    played hero there, he would have got at most fined
    ,or few bruises from the romanian police, and he
    would have been alive and married today.
    You have to survive your youth, afterwards things
    only get better.

    Magyarosi Árpád was assassinated by a group of assassins cops in a hotel Las Americas during being asleep in the Bolivian Santa Cruz.
    Arpad was invited for a 1-month visit to Bolivia by his friend from his childhood, Toaso Elod now in prison. He was a university student here in Hungary. He bought his own ticket on his own money. He arrived to Viru Viru airport (Santa Cruz). About his personality: he was very calm, with high knowledge in arts, was a teacher, he could not and would not commit either in his head anything he is accused of.
