News Official statement In the courts
  • Nadia Beller, an ex-partner of Fernando Cerimedo, has been summoned as a witness in an illicit enrichment case against him.
  • Cerimedo, a political strategist, is accused of illicit enrichment and is currently serving preventive detention.
  • The investigation also includes allegations of attempted femicide against Beller, who has accused Cerimedo of corruption.

Nadia Beller, formerly involved with political strategist Fernando Cerimedo, has been summoned by the Departmental Prosecutor's Office of La Paz to testify as a witness. The case concerns allegations of illicit enrichment that allegedly harmed the state. Beller's testimony is scheduled for Wednesday at 4:30 PM.

Cerimedo, known for his work with right-wing political movements in Latin America and his role in positioning Javier Milei, has been in preventive detention since August 18. He faces charges including attempted femicide against Beller, who reported him for corruption after surviving an armed attack. Prosecutors are also investigating Cerimedo for illicit enrichment after discovering over $40,000 during a search of his home in La Paz.

This development adds another layer to the legal troubles surrounding Cerimedo. He is currently facing three separate legal processes in Bolivia: one for illicit profit legitimization, another for attempted femicide, and a third for domestic violence against Nadia Beller. Beller's role as a key witness against her former partner highlights the complex and intertwined nature of the accusations.
