Fernando Cerimedo detained in Bolivia for attempted femicide

Fernando Cerimedo Nadia Beller attempted femicide Bolivia investigation political consultant

Fernando Cerimedo, an Argentine political consultant and former advisor to Javier Milei, is currently detained in Bolivia facing investigation for the attempted femicide of his partner, lawyer Nadia Beller.

Beller was shot multiple times in front of the Swissôtel in Santa Cruz de la Sierra by individuals disguised as delivery workers. Prosecutors allege that Cerimedo orchestrated the attack by applying psychological pressure to ensure Beller attended the specific location. Beller, who is currently pregnant, survived the shooting and is recovering from surgery.

Bolivian authorities have arrested a man and a woman suspected of being involved in the attack, including one person potentially linked to the motorcycle used by the assailants. Cerimedo has denied the allegations through his legal counsel, characterizing the case as political and rejecting claims regarding illegal payments or the possession of a bot farm.

In a separate but related development, an ex-military officer named Fritz Juniors Gironda was apprehended in La Paz during an operation at a financial institution linked to Cerimedo. This arrest occurs as part of a parallel investigation into alleged illicit enrichment.
