Overview

• A federal judge granted Hernán Bermúdez Requena a suspensión definitiva against a second arrest order, but he remains detained at the Altiplano maximum‑security prison.
• The amparo places his liberty at the disposal of the amparo judge and the control judge for the ongoing proceedings rather than authorizing release.
• The Second Collegiate Criminal Tribunal in the State of Mexico rejected the FGR’s complaint against the provisional suspension, noting the measure’s limited effects do not free him.
• The FGR says it has established clear links tying Bermúdez to organized crime as alleged leader of La Barredora, citing testimony from two close associates, including one cooperating under a criterio de oportunidad.
• Authorities located Bermúdez in Paraguay and returned him after expulsion, and the case now advances toward an intermediate hearing on federal imputations that include organized crime and aggravated kidnapping, with reports also citing drug, weapons, and fuel‑related offenses.
