Fernando Cerimedo Accused of Ordering 2 Hit Men to Kill Pregnant Paramour

Summary
Fernando Cerimedo, a right-wing political strategist active across Latin America, is accused of directing two hit men to kill Nadia Beller, his pregnant paramour, in Bolivia.
Beller survived three gunshot wounds and, from a hospital bed hours after the attack last month, recorded a video statement saying she knew who had ordered the hit.
The allegation marks a dramatic fall for Cerimedo, once known as “MAGA’s man” in Latin America before ending up in a Bolivian prison.
The case now ties a figure who helped steer conservative campaigns in the region to an attempted killing that has drawn attention far beyond Bolivia.
