New details about the financing of Chile's 2022 Rejection campaign have put Fernando Cerimedo's political circle back under scrutiny.

According to an investigation published by Ciper and records from Chile's Electoral Service, lawyer Enrique García Arancibia contributed 4 million Chilean pesos to the campaign. The records identify García Arancibia as Cerimedo's Chilean associate.

The report also describes García Arancibia as an adviser to Arrau, adding another political connection to the financing story. The campaign is characterized in the headline as one that received funding while promoting false messages.

The new information has again focused attention on the network surrounding the Argentine consultant and on how money moved through the campaign that urged voters to reject the 2022 constitutional proposal.
