Two Cerimedo Case Suspects Testify; Prosecutors Seek Their Preventive Detention

Colombian national Víctor Hugo C.Z. — identified by investigators as the alleged shooter after initially presenting himself voluntarily to deny involvement — and Róger A.C., accused of supplying the firearm, testified before Bolivian justice authorities. Róger's position worsened after phone-location expert reports reconstructed his movements before the Aug 17 attack. Prosecutors requested 180 days of preventive detention for both, the same term already imposed on Fernando Cerimedo, whom Beller accuses of ordering the shooting.
