Fernando Cerimedo's troll farms shut down following assassination attempt

Authorities have shut down several bot and troll farms owned by Fernando Cerimedo following an attempted assassination against his former partner. The victim survived the attack and has since revealed the political operations conducted by her ex-partner.

The investigation into Cerimedo’s activities highlights the use of automated bots and human-operated troll profiles to spread fake news and incite social media conflict. These digital operations are described as tools used to artificially inflate political images and influence leadership across various Latin American nations.
