Fernando Cerimedo arrested in Bolivia for attempted femicide

Fernando Cerimedo, an Argentine political consultant and former advisor to Javier Milei and Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz, has been arrested in Bolivia. He is accused by prosecutors of being the intellectual author of an attempted femicide against his former partner, lawyer and activist Nadia Beller.

On August 17, Beller was shot multiple times by two individuals disguised as delivery workers at the entrance of the Swissotel in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Prosecutors allege that Cerimedo orchestrated the ambush by luring Beller to the hotel under the false promise of providing security. Digital evidence, including phone messages, reportedly shows coordination for the attack.

Beller, who is currently pregnant, stated she intended to expose corruption networks involving Cerimedo and government officials. She has also alleged that Cerimedo facilitated contracts for large companies and used public resources. The investigation has led to the removal of judicial secrecy at the request of the victim to ensure transparency. Cerimedo faces a request for up to 180 days of preventive detention.
