Latin American Political Strategist Charged With Attempted Femicide in Bolivia

Fernando Cerimedo, who advised Bolivia's President Paz Pereira and helped elect Argentina's Milei in 2023, was arrested August 18 in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. He faces attempted femicide — gender-based violence targeting a woman — after his partner, lawyer Nadia Beller, was shot three times by men posing as delivery riders. Cerimedo's lawyer denies involvement. He remains detained on flight-risk grounds.
