Cerimedo’s attorney accuses Nadia Beller of staging a ‘self-inflicted attack’
The lawyer said Beller was not in a relationship with Milei’s former advisor and planned the shooting to harm Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz La entrada Cerimedo’s attorney accuses Nadia Beller of staging a ‘self-inflicted attack’ se publicó primero en Buenos Aires Herald .
Argentine political advisor Fernando Cerimedo's lawyer, Margarita Arce, has accused Nadia Beller of staging a "self-inflicted attack" to destabilize the Bolivian government. Cerimedo, who has worked as an advisor for right-wing leaders such as Argentine President Javier Milei and former Brazilian leader Jair Bolsonaro, was arrested in Santa Cruz de la Sierra on Tuesday and accused of sending hitmen to kill Beller on Monday.
Beller, a former supporter of ex-Bolivian president Evo Morales and now a critic, claims that she is four and a half to five weeks pregnant with Cerimedo's child and that he physically abused her in the past. Arce denies that Cerimedo and Beller were in a relationship and that he is the father of her child, stating that they only "flirted when they first met."
Arce alleges that Beller staged the entire incident and is blaming Cerimedo because she knows he is close to President Rodrigo Paz. Cerimedo is currently under pretrial detention and has refused to testify. Prosecutors are expected to formally press charges against him on Thursday.
