- On Monday night, lawyer Nadia Beller was shot three times at a hotel in the Canal Isuto area of Santa Cruz de la Sierra. She remains in serious condition following the attack.
- Early Tuesday, authorities detained political consultant Fernando Cerimedo at Viru Viru International Airport in Santa Cruz as he prepared to board a flight to Buenos Aires.
- Investigators consider Cerimedo a main suspect, exploring a potential romantic conflict with Beller as a leading hypothesis. Santa Cruz Police Commander David Gomez told reporters authorities are "determining whether he had any involvement" in the shooting.

- As a leading figure behind Derecha Diario and head of the firm Numen, Cerimedo played a key role in developing right-wing movements across Latin America, helping build digital networks for Libertad Avanza.
