Judge Upholds Freezes on Bank Accounts of Bermúdez Requena’s Wife and Daughter

The case now moves to a Collegiate Tribunal review following the refusal to lift the financial blocks.

Overview

  • The First District Court in Tabasco denied a definitive suspension sought by Verónica Encalada Pérez and Verónica Bermúdez Encalada, leaving their accounts frozen.
  • The same judge recently declined to unlock Hernán Bermúdez Requena’s own accounts as part of the broader anti–money laundering actions.
  • The UIF imposed the freezes in July in coordination with the Procuraduría Fiscal and the CNBV after detecting unusual transactions and alleged triangulation with shell companies.
  • Bermúdez Requena remains in the El Altiplano prison on charges including criminal association, aggravated kidnapping and extortion, with the complementary investigation extended to March 24, 2026.
  • Media reports indicate the UIF is monitoring at least 15 linked accounts with amounts that could exceed 50 million pesos, described as preliminary estimates.
