Nadia Beller Reveals Photos of Cerimedo With Trump’s Son

Mexico City, September 29 (SinEmbargo).— Activist and lawyer Nadia Beller Delgado has once again put the spotlight on Argentine consultant Fernando Cerimedo’s ties to Donald Trump’s political circle. A photo she released this Tuesday shows her ex-partner alongside Donald Trump Jr., son of the U.S. president, American Brad Parscale, and Cerimedo’s consultant and friend Andy Rivas.
The image again drew attention to the ties Fernando Cerimedo has built in recent years with figures and operatives close to Donald Trump, a relationship that extended from Trump-world political circles in the United States to campaigns the Argentine consultant worked on across Latin America. In posting the photo, Beller also questioned the scope of those relationships, asking: “Is this the fight for the Shield of the Americas, or the protection of the MAGA network?”
Also appearing in the images is Dick Morris, an American political consultant with a long career in electoral campaigns whose work in Mexico dates back at least to the 2000 presidential election, when he advised Vicente Fox. In 2006, Morris was brought onto Felipe Calderón’s campaign team by Josefina Vázquez Mota and played a central role in the fear-and-contrast strategy aimed at Andrés Manuel López Obrador, distilled into the slogan “López Obrador, a danger to Mexico.”
The photo’s release comes just as the United States government revoked the visa of Bolivia’s Attorney General, Roger Mariaca, who is leading the investigation against Cerimedo over the attempted femicide of Nadia Beller, money laundering, usurping of functions, and other crimes.
In releasing the photo, Beller linked her questions to the U.S. government’s decision to bar entry to Mariaca, whose office is pursuing investigations tied to Cerimedo. “What criteria is Donald Trump’s government using to decide who makes this list?” the activist asked in her post. “If the explanation is corruption and drug trafficking, someone needs to explain why they’re revoking the visa of the Attorney General who is investigating a network with exactly those characteristics,” she said. The lawyer pressed her questions about the scope of the U.S. measure and the open investigations in Bolivia.
Are they going after the one investigating, or protecting part of the network?

One of Cerimedo’s main bridges into Donald Trump’s world has been Brad Parscale, who appears in the photo with him — a digital strategist who worked on the Republican’s 2016 presidential campaign and was later named head of his 2020 reelection campaign.
After leaving Trump’s inner circle, Parscale developed technology tools for political campaigns, including Campaign Nucleus, and it was during its expansion into other countries that his partnership with Cerimedo began — who has publicly presented him as his partner and as the one responsible for the “technical side” of his operation. “Brad put in all the infrastructure I work with,” Cerimedo himself has acknowledged.
Cerimedo used tools like Campaign Nucleus and EyesOver to monitor digital conversations, segment audiences, and tailor messaging in the campaigns he worked on across Latin America, while Parscale supplied the technological infrastructure. Both are linked to the campaigns of Nasry Asfura in Honduras and Rodrigo Paz in Bolivia. In 2026, Cerimedo again made that closeness explicit, publicly thanking him: “Thanks Brad Parscale for believing in me the whole time and giving me technology.”
His contacts with Trump’s world were also embedded in a broader political network Cerimedo built among right-wing leaders and movements across Latin America. On February 10, 2026, for example, he received the “political consultant of the year” award at Mar-a-Lago, where he was introduced by Eduardo Bolsonaro and used his speech to argue for the need to keep waging the so-called “culture war” to prevent the return of left-wing governments.
Cerimedo was arrested a month ago in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, accused of the armed attack on Beller, who survived the attempt on her life and identified him as responsible. Cerimedo was placed in pretrial detention on charges of attempted femicide, a charge later joined by another for illicit enrichment. His arrest put a spotlight on a web of political, business, and media relationships that spans several Latin American countries, reaches the United States, and extends into Mexico, where, for example, the figure of Ricardo Salinas Pliego appears.
Nadia Beller also said, on September 21 on Los Periodistas, a program on SinEmbargo Al Aire, that Fernando Cerimedo was building a network of political relationships that let him gain access to U.S. institutions such as the State Department, the CIA, and the DEA, but she rejected the idea that he was directly an operative sent by those agencies. According to Beller, Cerimedo used the presidents and candidates he worked for as his way into those spaces while, at the same time, projecting onto those same politicians the image that he had privileged contacts inside the U.S. government.
“He uses the presidents to get access to U.S. institutions like the State Department, the CIA, the DEA, and so on, but at the same time, to get close to the presidents, he sells them the illusion that he’s the link to them. So he uses them both ways, but in the end all he really has are business interests. All he cares about is making money, winning over presidents so that along the way he gets access to these countries to lobby for major companies.”
The lawyer said Cerimedo had partners with international connections and specifically named Brad Parscale. Beller said she has a photo showing Cerimedo at a meeting with Parscale, Andy Rivas, and a person she identified as “the CIA’s head of intelligence.” She clarified, however, that she has not made the image public: “I have a photo where he’s with Brad, with Andy, with the CIA’s head of intelligence. I haven’t given that photo to anyone. I have it in my possession right now and, honestly, I don’t think it’s wise to release it, because I don’t think that’s the point.”
Beller added that, in her view, Parscale had supplied technology used by this group to intervene in campaigns: “Brad gave these people the technology. My understanding is that Vicente, who is another one of the partners, has very good relations with the Mossad, with some international bodies like the IMF.” She said that technology was used to intervene in public conversation and favor certain electoral projects: “What I could perceive, or my impression, is that they used Brad’s technology — technology that’s used to distort public debate, to wage dirty war, to manipulate media opinion. They used this technology, and with this technology they helped presidents win elections, and once they won, they used the presidents as a springboard to reach the State Department.”
As an example, Beller recalled a trip Cerimedo took to the United States together with Rodrigo Paz, arguing the episode showed it was Cerimedo who leaned on political figures to get close to Washington, not necessarily the other way around. “Once, when he needed to make a direct connection in my country, he didn’t have the contact himself, and when he went, for example, that first time to the Shield of the Americas in the United States, he went holding onto Rodrigo Paz’s coattails — it’s not that he brought Rodrigo Paz, he went holding onto Rodrigo Paz and sat next to Rodrigo Paz, not next to the State Department,” she said.
