  • Fernando Cerimedo’s planned transfer from Palmasola in Santa Cruz to Chonchocoro in La Paz was suspended after he experienced high blood pressure and tachycardia in his cell.
  • Prison authorities said Cerimedo was stable, had received medical attention and remained under observation.
  • The transfer order remains linked to a judicial decision requiring 180 days of pretrial detention in a La Paz case investigating alleged illicit enrichment affecting the state.

Fernando Cerimedo’s transfer to Chonchocoro prison in La Paz was suspended Friday night after the former political adviser suffered a health episode in his cell at Palmasola’s PC-6 facility in Santa Cruz.

According to Cerimedo’s doctor, he experienced elevated blood pressure and tachycardia. The condition led authorities to halt the operation that had been planned to move him to La Paz.

Information initially came from people close to the detainee, who said the episode occurred while he was being held at the Santa Cruz prison. Palmasola’s administration later said Cerimedo was stable after receiving treatment from medical staff at the prison’s health center. Prison authorities said he remained under observation.

The suspended transfer comes while a court order remains in force requiring Cerimedo to serve 180 days of pretrial detention at Chonchocoro. The detention forms part of an investigation in La Paz into alleged illicit enrichment affecting the state.
