Fernando Cerimedo transferred to Chonchocoro maximum security prison
Argentine political consultant Fernando Cerimedo has been transferred to the Chonchocoro maximum security prison in La Paz, Bolivia. The transfer follows a judicial order mandating six months of preventive detention regarding allegations of illicit enrichment and potential impact on the state.
Cerimedo faces multiple legal proceedings in Bolivia, including an investigation into the attempted murder of his former partner, Nadia Beller, following an armed attack in Santa Cruz. Additionally, the Bolivian Prosecutor's Office has expanded its investigation to include charges of usurpation of functions and money laundering.
Cerimedo's legal defense has expressed significant concerns for his physical safety within the high-security facility, citing potential threats and the risk of being targeted by political factions. The defense has also raised concerns regarding a perceived legal vacuum in the transfer process and has sought international intervention through the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
In Peru, the case has gained political traction, with the Juntos por el Perú parliamentary group proposing an investigative commission to examine Cerimedo's alleged role in manipulating public opinion during the 2026 General Elections.
