The Attorney General's Office will execute an arrest warrant for organized crime against Hernán Bermúdez Requena.

MEXICO CITY (apro).- Hernán Bermúdez Requena, former Secretary of Public Security of Tabasco, already has an arrest warrant for the federal crime of organized crime, which upon his arrival in Mexico will be executed by the Attorney General's Office (FGR).

Mario Elizondo Martínez, a supervisory judge assigned to the Federal Criminal Justice Center in Almoloya de Juárez, issued the arrest warrant requested by the Attorney General's Office on September 15, two days before Paraguay announced its decision to expel Bermúdez Requena after Mexico withdrew its extradition request.

The former official is being accused by local and now federal authorities of being the alleged leader of "La Barredora," a cell of the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel (CJNG) in Tabasco.

In its arrest warrant request, reviewed by Proceso, the Attorney General's Office (FGR) included four alleged operatives of Bermúdez Requena, also known as "El Abuelo" or "El Munrra," namely Daniel Hernández Montejo or Yeison Daniel Hernández Montejo "El Prada" or "La Chichirria"; José del Carmen Castillo Ramírez "La Rana"; Savier Eduardo Vázquez Orellana "El Blin Blin" or "El Menchito"; and Manuel de Atocha Romero Hernández, against whom Judge Elizondo also issued arrest warrants.

The federal investigation against former collaborator of Morena Senator Adán Augusto López began on March 1 of this year, according to investigation file FED/FEMDO/FEITATA-JAL/0000224/2025, stemming from an anonymous complaint filed by a cleaning worker on February 28 for organized crime with the purpose of stockpiling and trafficking weapons.

According to federal documents, Bermúdez's private secretary, whose initials are CTDR, who negotiated a timeliness criterion with the FGR, declared before the federal public ministry last May that when "El Abuelo" was appointed head of the Tabasco Security Secretariat, he arrested Trinidad Alberto de la Cruz Miranda "El Pelón de Playa", a criminal leader in the state, and subsequently distributed the territory to members of "La Barredora", an organization that he allegedly headed.

The beneficiaries of this operation were Ulises Pinto Madera "El Mamado"; Daniel Hernández Montejo "El Prada"; Gabriel Gómez Vázquez "Indeco"; "El Comandante Esquirla"; and the CTDR himself, who explained that each of them delivered two million pesos a week to Bermúdez Requena's home.

According to the witness statement, Gómez Vázquez controlled Cárdenas, Nacajuca, Centla, Tacotalpa, Centro, Macuspana, and Jalapa, where he operated the drug trade of marijuana, cocaine, and crystal meth, which he sold in packages and doses on land located in the Indeco neighborhood.

According to CDTR, Gómez Vázquez distributed around 8 kilos of drugs weekly to the rest of the lieutenants, who in turn sold them in the municipalities each controlled. The 2 million pesos a week that Bermúdez Requena received were the product of these sales and the theft of LP gas, selling huachicol, extorting protection money from escorts, and trafficking migrants and weapons.

Former Tabasco Security Secretary Vázquez Orellana and Romero Hernández already had an arrest warrant issued against them by a Tabasco common court judge for criminal association, express kidnapping, and extortion.

Based on this order, Mexico had requested Bermúdez Requena's extradition from Paraguay, a process to which the former official did not comply and decided to litigate in that country.

However, yesterday the Paraguayan government announced that Mexico had withdrawn its extradition request and, as a result, decided to expel him from the country.

In this way, the Mexican government is no longer obligated to prosecute him solely for the crimes for which his extradition was requested, and the Attorney General's Office will be able to subject him to the federal case it has against him.

Bermúdez is expected to arrive at Toluca International Airport this Thursday and then appear before Judge Elizondo to hear the federal indictment for organized crime.
