Argentine political strategist Fernando Cerimedo told a Bolivian court that he earns up to one million dollars per month, according to a report by Perfil. He also sought to distance those earnings from any Bolivian sources.
Cerimedo made the statement during a judicial proceeding in Bolivia, where he is now under investigation for possible illicit enrichment, as reported by Clarin.com. The declaration was part of his testimony before the court.
Perfil reports that Cerimedo provided the income figure when questioned about his finances. He acknowledged that he works as a consultant for politicians in several countries, according to La Nación. In a separate report, a24.com noted that Cerimedo admitted to having worked for Rodrigo Paz, a Bolivian political figure.
The case stems from questions about the origin of Cerimedo’s wealth. By stating that his monthly earnings can reach seven figures, he appears to be arguing that his income is generated through international consulting work rather than from Bolivian contracts. The court is now weighing whether his declared income matches his known assets and spending.
Cerimedo is a well-known figure in right-wing political circles across Latin America, as described by Página|12. His work has placed him at the center of political campaigns in multiple countries, which he cited as the basis for his earnings.
The investigation in Bolivia will determine whether his financial disclosures align with his actual income. The court’s next steps will likely focus on verifying the sources of the funds he claims to receive from his international clients.
