A Bolivian investigation into a plane crash that killed 71 people last month, including dozens of Brazilian football players, has concluded that the pilot and the airline were directly responsible, an official says.
The plane, operated by Bolivian airline LaMia, plunged into a mountainside near the Colombian city Medellin. Only six people survived.
An audio recording of the pilot suggested the aircraft ran out of fuel. A Colombian investigation continues. LaMia’s chief executive, Gustavo Vargas Gamboa, and his son, Gustavo Vargas Villegas, are being held pending trial.
