The lawyer for "Gordo Dan" has publicly defended Fernando Cerimedo, while a separate figure, Negre, has moved to distance Cerimedo from the outlet La Derecha Diario, according to Clarin.com.
Cerimedo, who is being held in Bolivia's Palmasola prison, spent his first night there in a depressed state, Perfil reports. His detention was confirmed in a lengthy court hearing, where he faces accusations related to an alleged assassination attempt against his girlfriend, Clarin.com detailed.
The defense comes as Cerimedo's legal situation unfolds in Bolivia. Clarin.com reports that the lawyer for Gordo Dan, a figure connected to the case, is backing Cerimedo. At the same time, Negre is publicly separating Cerimedo from La Derecha Diario, the outlet with which he had been associated.
Cerimedo's path in Bolivia involved market research work before he moved into circles of power, according to Infobae. This background adds context to his current legal troubles, which have drawn attention from Argentine media.
Separately, Edmand Lara criticized Argentine President Javier Milei over the matter, calling his involvement "an irresponsibility" and "an intrusion into the justice system," as reported by Página|12.
The case remains in its early stages, with Cerimedo's detention confirmed and his legal team now working on his defense. Observers will be watching whether the backing from Gordo Dan's lawyer and the distancing by Negre affect how the case proceeds in Bolivian courts.
