Adviser to Bolivia’s Paz, Argentina’s Milei Detained over Attack on Analyst

Prosecutors say the former campaign adviser is a suspect in an attempted femicide case as Beller remains in serious condition after being shot three times.

  • On Monday night, lawyer Nadia Beller was shot three times at a hotel in the Canal Isuto area of Santa Cruz de la Sierra. She remains in serious condition following the attack.
  • Early Tuesday, authorities detained political consultant Fernando Cerimedo at Viru Viru International Airport in Santa Cruz as he prepared to board a flight to Buenos Aires.
  • Investigators consider Cerimedo a main suspect, exploring a potential romantic conflict with Beller as a leading hypothesis. Santa Cruz Police Commander David Gomez told reporters authorities are "determining whether he had any involvement" in the shooting.
  • Initial reports indicate attackers arrived disguised as food delivery drivers before fleeing on a motorcycle. Cerimedo, a digital strategist for President Javier Milei, has faced scrutiny in Brazil over alleged involvement in campaigns for Jair Bolsonaro.
  • As a leading figure behind Derecha Diario and head of the firm Numen, Cerimedo played a key role in developing right-wing movements across Latin America, helping build digital networks for Libertad Avanza.
