## Bolivian Attorney General Arrested
Bolivian attorney general Roger Mariaca was arrested on drug-trafficking charges in late September 2026.
## U.S. Sanctions and Visa Revocation
The United States sanctioned Mariaca and revoked his visa for 'involvement in significant corruption' including allegedly 'soliciting and accepting bribes to facilitate narcotrafficking'.
## Investigation into Cerimedo
Mariaca had been investigating Fernando Cerimedo, a MAGA-affiliated Argentine political operative accused of hiring a hitman to kill his pregnant ex-girlfriend, Nadia Beller.
## Nadia Beller's Allegations
Beller claims government sources warned her she would be charged with failure to report Cerimedo’s drug trafficking and election interference.
## Cerimedo's Trump Ties
Beller posted a photo of Cerimedo with Donald Trump Jr. and Brad Parscale on her Facebook page in September 2026.
## U.S. Support for Arrest
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and 15 countries in Trump’s Shield of the Americas initiative issued statements supporting Bolivia following Mariaca’s arrest.
## Bolivian Government Response
Bolivian Vice President Edmand Lara Montaño leaked audio of Cerimedo negotiating payments for aircraft linked to drug trafficking operations.
## Cerimedo's Arrest
Cerimedo was arrested after the U.S. revoked Mariaca’s visa and he was accused of protecting drug traffickers through high-level bribes.
## Beller's Testimony
Beller testified as a protected witness but her scheduled testimony was abruptly suspended by Bolivian authorities.
## Bolivian Legal Concerns
Bolivian lawyer Canela Crespo warned that Mariaca’s arrest ignored legal procedures and due process guarantees.
## U.S. Drug Policy in Latin America
The U.S. has used drug trafficking accusations to advance political interests in Latin America since the Nixon administration.
## Bolivian Government Motivations
The Paz government aims to secure stability ahead of social unrest in late October by pushing through unpopular reforms.
## Indigenous Rights Concerns
Bolivia’s 2009 constitution guarantees indigenous rights and land tenure, but the government has extended a state of emergency to limit these freedoms.
## Consequence for Bolivia
Bolivia faces increased political instability as the government cleanses the judiciary to protect its interests ahead of potential social unrest.
## Key takeaway

Bolivian attorney general Roger Mariaca arrested after investigating Fernando Cerimedo, a Trump-aligned Argentine political operative accused of hiring a hitman to kill his pregnant ex-girlfriend.
