Alleged La Barredora Leader Hernán Bermúdez Spends First Night at Altiplano After Paraguay Expulsion

He now awaits a videoconference hearing on state charges after federal agents executed only the Tabasco arrest order.

Overview

  • Mexican authorities flew him from Asunción on an FGR Challenger 605 with stops in Bogotá and Tapachula, reaching Toluca on Thursday evening after roughly 33 hours.
  • At the airport an AIC agent read him his rights and served the state warrant for association, extortion and express kidnapping; a separate federal order for organized crime was not executed.
  • A security convoy moved him in an armored Rhino from the Toluca airport to the Altiplano maximum-security prison in Almoloya de Juárez, where he was booked around 23:00.
  • The Tabasco case, under causa penal 213/2025, also names alleged accomplices and ties him to a 2019 kidnapping of a businessman linked to fuel theft.
  • His capture in Paraguay involved Interpol and Paraguayan authorities, who expelled him and handed him to Mexico on September 17; a hearing before a Tabasco control judge will be held by videoconference.
