Bolivian Senate launches probe into Cerimedo

Overview

Argentine political consultant Fernando Cerimedo remains in preventive detention at the Chonchocoro maximum-security prison in La Paz following his arrest at Viru Viru International Airport. He faces multiple criminal charges in Bolivia, including investigations into illicit enrichment, money laundering, and the attempted homicide of his former partner, Nadia Beller.

The Bolivian Senate has approved a special six-member commission to investigate Cerimedo for up to three months to determine if he maintained irregular links to the Executive Branch or engaged in improper dealings with public entities during his tenure as an advisor to President Rodrigo Paz.

Nadia Beller, a lawyer and complainant in the case, has recently raised concerns regarding the legal proceedings against Bolivia’s Prosecutor General, Roger Mariaca. She questioned the validity of using an informal audio from drug trafficker Sebastián Marset as judicial evidence to justify actions against Mariaca, arguing it does not constitute conclusive proof. Beller expressed apprehension that an institutional crisis within the Prosecutor's Office could compromise investigations into Cerimedo, specifically warning about the potential loss of evidence and compromised chain of custody during police operations.

Beller has also highlighted Cerimedo’s international connections, citing a photograph of him with Donald Trump Jr. and Brad Parscale, suggesting these links might imply international protection. Furthermore, she has submitted evidence to the Prosecutor's Office alleging Cerimedo’s involvement in influencing appointments at the state oil company, YPFB, and participating in operations involving fuel and gold.

On the international stage, Cerimedo’s digital activities remain under scrutiny by authorities in Mexico, Chile, and Peru regarding alleged disinformation networks and the use of “bot farms” to manipulate public opinion.
