Fernando Cerimedo, an international political operative known as "MAGA's Man in Latin America," was honored at a Mar-a-Lago event in February for his role in the campaigns of MAGA-aligned leaders in South America. Six months later, hitmen in Bolivia attempted to murder Cerimedo's pregnant ex-girlfriend, Nadia Beller, on August 17, with Beller surviving and subsequently revealing secrets that implicate Cerimedo in her attempted murder. The article suggests that these revelations threaten to expose Trump world machinations across Latin America. Cerimedo has ties to high-profile figures in the MAGA movement, including Brad Parscale, who he thanked for his support.
