'MAGA's man in Latin America' arrested for murder-for-hire plot
Lurking behind Trump aligned leaders such as Javier Milei, Daniel Noboa, Jair Bolsonaro, and Nayib Bukele are lesser known but highly influential operatives who dictate the course of events in their countries.
Perhaps the most consequential of these figures is Fernando Cerimedo, a top advisor to the right-wing Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz, who’s known as MAGA’s man in Latin America.
On August 18, Cerimedo was arrested and accused of masterminding an attack that would have killed his ex-girlfriend, the Bolivian lawyer Nadia Beller, who is pregnant.
Beller miraculously survived four shots at point-blank range, and from her hospital bed, in a desperate bid to avoid being murdered, she denounced Cerimedo.
The Grayzone reports on how Cerimedo's testimony exposes much more than her ex's lethal intentions.
According to Beller, Cerimedo assisted a vast network of CIA assets as they manipulated Latin American politics on behalf of Trump's Washington, and oversaw a deluge of dark money into the coffers of Trump's hand-picked candidates.
Even with MAGA’s continental point man behind bars, the rampage of resource theft and electoral manipulation, and the killing of national sovereignty, continues full steam ahead.
