Head of Bolivian airline held as part of Chapecoense plane disaster probe

A Bolivian judge has ordered the detention of the head of the airline whose plane crashed in the Andes last week while authorities investigate him for possible charges of manslaughter and other crimes.

Gustavo Vargas, a retired air force general who is chief executive of the LaMia airline, complained at the court hearing that he is being unfairly blamed for the November 28 crash near Medellin, Colombia.
