Prosecutor orders arrest of three foreigners for attack on Nadia Beller

Bolivian prosecutors have issued three new arrest warrants for foreign nationals as part of the investigation into the attempted femicide of Nadia Beller, an attack that occurred on August 17 in Santa Cruz. The prosecutor general's office confirmed the warrants have been delivered to the Bolivian police for execution.

Fernando Cerimedo remains in preventive detention in connection with the case. The new warrants are part of ongoing investigations by a special prosecutor commission. The three individuals sought are foreign citizens, and authorities are actively working to locate them.

Prosecutor General Roger Mariaca expressed confidence that the warrants would be executed soon, stating it was a matter of "days or hours." He emphasized that police are pursuing the suspects and will apply legal procedures to find them.

In related developments, a lieutenant colonel from the Bolivian Special Force to Combat Drug Trafficking (Felcn) provided a statement. He acknowledged knowing Cerimedo and having had contact with him. According to his testimony, Cerimedo had delegated security-related matters to him and provided equipment, including a drone and other devices potentially usable by police.

The police official also stated that Cerimedo contacted him on August 7 regarding important, confidential information Beller was expected to receive. On the day of the attack, August 17, Cerimedo allegedly asked the lieutenant colonel to check on Beller as she was not answering her phone. The officer claimed he was in La Paz and lacked personnel in Santa Cruz to respond.
