Fernando Cerimedo investigated for attempted femicide and political ties
Fernando Cerimedo, an Argentine consultant currently in preventive detention in Bolivia, is at the center of an investigation involving an attempted femicide and alleged ties to state security apparatuses.
In Bolivia, Cerimedo is accused of being the intellectual author of an August 17 attack against lawyer Nadia Beller. Forensic analysis of his communications revealed chats with Erick Correas Gonzales, the intelligence chief of the Special Force to Fight Drug Trafficking (FELCN), suggesting coordination during the incident. Investigations have also uncovered evidence of potential money laundering and illicit enrichment, including the seizure of over 500,000 Bolivianos.
Reports indicate Cerimedo leveraged a close relationship with Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz Pereira to gain access to state resources, including police escorts. In Argentina, journalist Natalia Volosin has detailed Cerimedo's rise from a small-scale worker in Mar del Plata to a political consultant, noting his early work for figures such as Fernando Iglesias. Analysts express concern regarding the influence of private structures like Cerimedo's on future electoral processes in the region.
