A man and a woman, who are a couple, have been accused of being involved in the attempted murder of Bolivian political activist Nadia Beller in August, according to prosecutors. Beller was shot multiple times by hitmen on August 17. Her ex-partner and presidential advisor, Fernando Cerimedo, is currently detained at Palmasola jail in connection with the alleged femicide attempt.

Cerimedo, who previously served under Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz, is accused of ordering the attack and is also under investigation for illicit enrichment. The accused man is suspected of having sold the gun used in the shooting and possessing illegal firearms. Beller was approached by two men disguised as delivery drivers, but only one of them fired shots at her. She was released from the hospital on Saturday after recovering from her injuries.
