Cerimedo’s corporate ties to inner circle of Argentina’s SIDE spy agency
Shared addresses and interlocking companies. Corporate records reveal a web of businesses linking Fernando Cerimedo, President Milei’s former adviser, to figures historically associated with Argentina’s intelligence agency, as well as a host of businessmen. Leer más
Fernando Cerimedo, a man who started as a taxi driver in Mar del Plata and later rose to prominence in Latin American right-wing political circles, has been linked to former members of Argentina's State Intelligence Secretariat (SIDE). According to research by the La Justa media outlet, Cerimedo's corporate ties to the agency's former senior leadership have come under scrutiny.
Nadia Beller, a victim of an attempted femicide, claims that Cerimedo worked with Vicente Federico Quintanal, who is associated with businesses involving petrol, diesel, and gold. Beller alleges that Ceremedo's ex-wife, Natalia Basil, and their business associates are involved in these dealings. Quintanal is also connected to Silvia Majdalani, former deputy head of SIDE under ex-president Mauricio Macri, through Hollybar SA.
Another web of connections involves Oscar Ramón Giménez, who has ties to several other prominent figures, including Darío Richarte, Juan José Gallea, and Antonio 'Jaime' Stiuso. Basil and Palazzo established National Security Enterprise SRL, which was later acquired by Giménez and began providing services to the Río Gallegos Regional Hospital.
These corporate links, despite differing political affiliations, raise questions about the continuity of intelligence networks across administrations.
